I totally agree. Many assignments are on the ipad, and they come via shitty sass products that regularly crash, taking their homework with them. Additionally for stuff like math you need to show your work, which is impossible for higher level math so the kids have to turn in a paper version along with the ipad assignment.

A number of years ago when my daughter was in the second grade the school expected them to turn in homework via this crappy power point knock-off app that would constantly crash.

I had her eventually just take screen shots and send them to the printer. From there? She would fill in her answers, take a picture of the work, and then drop the image into the power point knockoff.

We got a note from the Principal about how "printing" was not supported.

Whatever.
