Education software sold to schools is dogshit for the most part, and that is when using it as a native English speaker. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to try and use something made for non-English speakers.

I thought this was a joke before having to help my kiddo when they were doing remote schoolwork during covid.

That's the point. They want to keep non-native speakers in poverty and working entry-level labor jobs.

My partner is ESL (English second language). She sometimes repeats a word that I say to practice the pronunciation. Yesterday, it was "binoculars," and I explained the root of "bi," two, and "ocular," as in the eyes. That's not happening with a computer program that can't discern a human's degree of understanding.

Texas doing kids a disservice is what they do best.

I think it was just the testing being done by computer, as opposed to a teacher evaluation test. In other words, the teachers can't claim a student is good, even if they aren't.

The teaching was the same, but now the testing became impartial.
