This is a typical Generation Z kid. A kid who is very hands-on with electrical gadgets.
During my time (I was born in the year of the ox some 4 decades back) when I was Alycia’s age, I could only discuss homework with my friends via telephone. And the telephone that we had 3 decades back was the black bulky and heavy dial telephone. I think we can only find such telephones in the museum now 😀
These days, almost all Generation Z kids have a desktop PC or a laptop in their room. Of late, on most nights, Alycia will Skype her classmates for discussion on how to solve Math sums and to discuss difficult questions from other homework. They even have group Skype in their homework discussion.
As I do not have the time to stand next to Alycia to monitor her conversation like a hawk, I always delegate my whistle blowers to report back to me on their che che’s conversation, HA HA HA HA! *ROARS tiger mum with exposed FANGS and CLAWS*

This is good…. at least she is technology savvy.
Last time during my time, we have to discuss our homework over the telephone and we had such difficulties especially with Maths problems because it is difficult to visualise what we say over the phone, unlike nowadays we have the skype, sms, whatsapp, we can just take photo of our handwriting or even use video to show how to solve those Maths problems.
