Zoomers destroying school chromebooks - 0.3 GPA activity

Ozul said:
I membah' my elementary school having one computer room. Every once in awhile we got to have "computer class" where we got to play on kidpix and do a typing practice game for an hour. I remember the typing game didn't help me much, I still punched each key with my index finger. I didn't get good at typing until I started playing runescape in 4th grade.

We had kidpix at my school after we completed our typing lessons! We had Mavis Beacon though which was rather boring, and I remember just typing fast as possible to get the fuck out of it so I could fuck around on kidpix or coolmath. Probably the reason why I type fast to this day. We had smartboards in every classroom, and I found them magical as a kindergartner.

I 'member how we used to fuck around in Tux Paint in primary school.

One thing that pisses me off is that they spell lead as "led". like as in the colored lights these fags have in their rooms. the only difference is pencil lead can be black.

That's how you're supposed to pronounce it in reference to the mineral, as well as the graphite core of a pencil? If you pronounce it the other way it can either mean a leash, a lanyard, or to lead someone, or to be in a leading position. And you're not supposed to pronounce "LED" as "led", you're supposed to pronounce it as "el-ee-dee", it's an acronym that stands for "light emitting diode". Same how you pronounce FBI as "eff-bee-eye" and not "fbye".

Though I guess that's just what American public schooling does to people. Having such an ass-backwards language as English as your first language probably doesn't help either.

This is way more common than you know it. Devices in public schools break every single day. My friend owns a company that repairs for the schools. He's doing very well, let's just say that.

>takes 5 minutes for everyone to get to the home screen
>another 5 spent opening google chrome
>runs like absolute shit and takes 3+ seconds to register your typing
>can barely handle a few tabs before becoming completely unresponsive
>retards prying up keys and drawing on it while waiting for shit to load
I can't say I'm surprised by the vandalism, they were incredibly frustrating to use. Seeing them get destroyed is a bit cathartic. My school gave us really nice ThinkPads the next year, and the difference was night and day.

When I was in school, in order to be in the higher math classes you needed to buy your own graphing calculator. The school wasn't just handing them out and letting kids take them home. I don't know why they decided it was a good idea to give every kid a free Chromebook to do whatever they want with. Maybe this wouldn't happen if they had to pay a deposit at the start of the year and got it back when it was returned in good condition. I know you would get charged if your textbooks were fucked up when you turned them back in at the end of the year.

That's because TI's business wasn't about creating mindshare and productivity suite lock-in, Google is the one driving this shit, chromebooks for education is worth way more than they spend on it.

This just proves that once again niggers and technology don't mix, least off all the braindead teens and kids. I've seen my baby brother treat his own electronics like shit in the past, throwing controllers or hitting the top of the family xbox, and it took alot of explaining and a few slaps to the back of the head to beat that behaviour out of him and have him understand that alot of these things are expensive and a privilege to have.


But now in regards to chromebooks:
-Kids and the families of those kids have 0 care about them because there not paying for them (directly) the goverment/school board is.
-Niggers and problem kids aren't gonna care because they associate the chromebook with the school which they most likely hate.
-The retard kids who use and take care of these chromebooks are gonna see these trends on tiktok are gonna think its funny and try to replicate these videos for amusement or views.

This sort of proves a few older parents points on limiting a childs access to technology until they have some understanding of value or until they are forced to somehow pay for it themselves. But it wouldn't even suprise me if the parents for some of these people arent actively encouraging the trend/behavior.

My education ended sixteen years ago, and yet it feels like a century with all the tech advancements that have been made. I genuinely have no idea how can people teach and be taught in the modern age with Internet and chat AI access everywhere alongside social media distractions assautling you from every angle.
Maybe my perspective is skewed because zoomers and alphas are basically tech illiterate and they can't see what I'm seeing.

Part of the reason for the tech illiteracy is they often weren't encouraged to explore the technology they're using. Either because the developers didn't allow it or the adults around them didn't allow it. Older zoomers(the ones born in the 90's) and the generations before them had to learn through trial and error to some extent.

People pay taxes for these kids to waste them. People saying "fuck chromebooks" better understand that they paid for them, and now that they have been destroyed, they are paying for more of them to replace the ones that exploded.

I do. Even still. Fuck Chromebooks. Replace them with proper fucking laptops. Thinkpads bitch.

The revolutionary thing at my elementary school was the "smart Board™" which was just a big shitty touchscreen but we all got to take turns drawing on it and were amazed. Looking back they lagged so badly and most teachers ended up fucking them up by accidentally writing on them with the dry erase markers. I can't imagine how much these stupid things costed back then.
Click to expand...
I was one time allowed to help with the smart board in middle school. I typed a bunch of nonsense like "[teacher here] is flying!", "Moo!", and "Beware the purple space worm". I didn't get in trouble(teachers thought it was funny) but I was never given that much power ever again.

But whatever gets slopware like chromeOS out of these schools
Click to expand...
it isn't. they get broken and they just buy new ones because they have a contract with google or whoever else manufactures them. do you think if kids are breaking their school supplied bic pens, they're going to switch to zebra? no they're going to keep buying bics and tell the kids to knock it off. also the fact that kids are breaking these for fun will only strengthen their resolve to keep using these because they're the cheapest option if these are going to be treated as disposable this blatantly. if they were ever considering spending more on real laptops they sure as hell aren't now because the kids breaking these will only find it funnier the more expensive it is because it isn't theirs
