Laptop and software platform based instruction is not working. It's not good for developing brains. I'm witnessing it in person.

It's perfect for developing brains if you're Google or Microsoft. Gotta get them hooked young and make sure these kids only know how to use Windows and Google Office.

I volunteer at a non profit in my town that takes old laptops and loads em up with Linux and Libre Office. Most people actually prefer that setup to the Google/Microsoft one and since it's offline, you can just rip the wireless out of the device.
