some schools are reducing their reliance on paper in their education systems and replacing it with digital devices like tablets and chromebooks. is this the end of FPE?

Maybe, but as part of a school district that assigned Chromebooks to everyone from the fifth grade and onward I noticed the Chromebooks became more and more useless as we got older. By the time I graduated I was only really using the Chromebooks for writing papers, lab reports, and computer science related stuff.

did you get a proper laptop after a few years? that might be why
honestly, proper books and paper are still the way to go. you should NOT give elementary schoolers spell checking software, for example.

We never did, every few years we’d just get new Chromebooks that were even slower and more useless than the ones we had before, I remember getting upgraded from our older Acer ones (that already sucked) to these dogshit “rugged” ones from some irrelevant company that had half the RAM

As for me I always had my own personal laptop, had one since the second grade when my parents gave me a MacBook
