    I know the article mentions these, but it’s time to bring back oral exams and handwritten-in-class essays

      I could never write essays by hand. Too often I would write out a paragraph just to read it, break it up, and subsequently rewrite both parts.

      Chromebooks these days have locked down modes for tests where you can only acess the test and maybe desmos, I think newer AP tests are done this way at the highschool I went to.

        I doubt a kid with tremors would be unable to get an exception made for them. I have tremors and in the mid 2000s my teachers were offering me test taking options like computers and other methods.

        I always refused because I was stubborn.

      What about those with dysgraphia? Are we going to punish the teacher who has to read that mess? Lol
