We keep the books in the closet. If a student wants one, we can probably find it. Let me tell you what I see as the main problems in public schools, and you tell me how those problems can be solved by computers. They're only getting more media, more stimulation, more of what caused the problem in the first place. The one thing that computers do extraordinarily well is bring information to kids.
Computers give kids access to vast amounts of information.
I don't have enough information. Teachers say they don't have enough time. The problem in classrooms is not a lack of information. It's too much information. The money should be spent on reducing class size, on providing teachers with more prep time, on improving school grounds so that students have the ability to study nature in nature, on providing lessons in the humanities and in other technologies, such as plumbing, woodworking, auto mechanics, home economics.
