The school decided to phase out TCI and bring back physical textbooks for our classes. We forced them to listen and provided the push needed to get actual learning tools into our hands. Keep watching to ensure they follow through on this transition.

TCI is a REALLY bad online "learning" service, that is used at least in Springfield public schools, and maybe other places. It doesn't help students with their learning, everybody gets really mad, and people don't do their work when we get work on TCI. Some people even hate it enough (the whole class) to start chanting "DIE DIE TCI" over and over. We, some of the students, decided that this shouldn't happen anymore, and TCI should be replaced with textbooks, maps, and PHYSICAL things, instead of digital things. also it's just boring, and nobody actually does work, like me, i'm creating this petition instead of doing my work on TCI, because it's that bad.
all that we want, is TCI gone, and the normal way of learning back, at least for social studies.

The feedback from classrooms is clear that this digital platform is failing us while traditional tools remain the gold standard for learning. Email the school board members to demand they return to physical textbooks and maps this semester. Tell them that students are ready to put down the tablets and engage with real classroom materials.

The momentum behind this push to ditch TCI is growing faster than I anticipated. Email your school board representative today to demand they bring physical textbooks and maps back into our classrooms.

I agree TCI should not be in a classroom and should be replaced with physical stuff. Learning digitally is not for me.
I agree, My child comes home from school and nave not learned anything because of TCI. And as a parent this upsets me because I want the best for my child and their education but how can they learn is all they get is a bunch of information mashed together and fill out the questions it does not teach them anything.
The worst thing about TCI is how slow it is. It is basically always down. DIE DIE TCI ─=≡Σ(╯°□°)╯︵┻┻
I agree very much. As a teacher i have learned how my students hate TCI. they start crying when they see it as an assignment.We must get rid of it. I understand very much of how much work the creators did to create TCI. But they made it BAD
Proud of Liam and his classmates for advocating for themselves to get what they need for their education
It sucks and doesn't help me with anything
I made my social studies teacher a comic about TCI and he has it hung up, #CANCELTCI

For 6th grade social studies, in unit 8, lesson 34, TCI says that New Zealand is a continental island. The thing is, though, it's not. Instead New Zealand is apart of the 8th continent, Zealandia. Not many people know about Zealandia, but it does exist. I'm ok if we still use online information for social studies(and all other subjects as well), but not TeachTCI, and that goes for all subjects.
