I was writing via pen and paper, and that was great. I was using a typewriter, and that was cool. At first, word processing was amazing to help with editing and my handwriting. But then I don’t know, it is much less sexy to sit at a screen. There are too many distractions. Feels much less creative.

It had a huge impact on my kids. You are not wrong. The teachers were unprepared and often left to their own devices. I will tell you that older teachers and technology don’t mix.
