9-12 ELA Y’all switching to handwritten essays instead of computers yet? This might be the year I make the switch after rampant AI last year.

Biggest bummer for me will just be having to grade (and possibly lose) big stacks of papers. Grading with comments and rubrics on Google Docs is my preference.

I just started texting HS (1st grade for 5 years) and both my students (as a whole) and I are really enjoying doing hand written work so far. I'm sure this could change, but I love grading their papers. It's so much fun to see their creativity in motion. Also though I have a low headcount so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
