We’ve been needing to rework education for years now anyway. At least this will force the teachers to change & adapt, whether they like it or not.

lol , piret getting robbed kind of situation we are in
My point is that it's a somewhat outdated skill, and these kids have enough to figure out without the encumbrance of a paper dictionary. Most of my kids have never used one before, and yes, I can show them how to use it, but it's not a functional testing accommodation. Testing accommodations should not include learning skills that are only tangentially related, especially not when there is a reasonable alternative.
