Yeah definitely agree. Tech at my kids school just means all the tests and homework are done on a computer instead of on paper, but it is still the same format as it has always been.

Would be cool to see more open ended long running projects instead of the standard 'lecture > homework > test' pipeline. Kids are also given a crazy amount of leeway and teachers/parents will drag a negligent kid to their diploma. Even if a kid tried to fail they would be met with a bunch of counselors and special classes begging him to put forth a minimal effort. It might help if we moved the guardrails back a bit and let kids know that failure is a very real possibility.
