I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would’ve been much easier.

    I’m pretty sire that kids were always scanning for the keywords they needed. As the education system decays it’s important to remember that it was always fundamentally flawed

      Scanning the page with your eyes and brain is still better than hitting ctrl-f and having it pointed out for you. You’ll at least subconsciously pick up on other material on the page. And if they exact phrasing they’re scanning for manually isn’t found verbatim in the text, they’ll still be able to find relevant parts of the reading.
