Yes. This grates on my last nerve. Every time.

“Free is not sustainable.”

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

I know a lot of tools are being offered free right now but...

It is a mistake to use and fall in love with a product that is not going to be supported after all of this.

We need districts to redo their budgets to get teachers the tools they need. Free is not sustainable

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler I think you’ve seen this TED talk from @conradwolfram, who eloquently makes the case for leveraging computers to reduce both the tedium and time spent on this step. https://t.co/sMoGOJhYm1

@alicekeeler Interestingly, the square root algorithm disappeared from classrooms long before calculators. I learned using a combination of tables and a slide rule. I’m thankful for the calculator but still enjoy playing with my old slide rule. It served me well.

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler It saves lives.

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler We aren’t.

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler @kidslearn2code Now go change a tire or do your taxes. That’s engaging. If it’s all about life skills, schools aren’t needed at all. Polynomials are just incidental.

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler @kidslearn2code Why is it that every learning objective must be a life skill? And since when has factoring ever been a barrier to graduation? #ridiculousredherring

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler @kidslearn2code Your hashtags are loaded with false assumptions you can’t/don’t/won’t justify. I am not a computer sexist. Also, I was agreeing with you, albeit carrying your argument to its logical conclusion.

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@kidslearn2code @alicekeeler Well said.

[Christopher Brown @NSHSMathematics]

@alicekeeler @kidslearn2code Life skills are all that matter. Maybe it’s time to consider ending formal education after 5th grade and move to apprenticeships to prepare for workforce.
