Believes Tablets Should Be Stone
Field Trip | Learning
| January 28, 2015
(I’m on a field trip, at a ski resort. Since the school is based online, I can do tests on the web. While eating lunch, I have my tablet out, and am working on a midterm. A parent comes up and watches for a bit.)
Parent: “Hey, is that [School Site]?”
Me: “Uhm, yeah. Working on psychology right now.”
Parent: “…on a tablet?”
Me: “Yeah, they’ve made it mobile-friendly. They also have a program to get a tablet, if you have the grades for it.”
Parent: “That’s weird. We didn’t have all this when I was younger. They should keep everything traditional.”
(I didn’t know how to reply. She walked away, grumbling about ‘new customs.’)
