[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 808644, member: 9500"] Well I actually have some experience in that area because my Mother was in charge of setting up computer labs and training teachers on how to use them in her District. They are consistent alright: consistently used as a babysitter for the kids same as television is used at home. Computers certainly have their place but not as a replacement for a real Teacher. While computers do not need pay, benefits, or pension they do need constant updating and maintenance. I disagree vehemently that the long term cost would pale in comparison to what we have now, in fact they would skyrocket. Computer technology changes so fast, sometimes within six months. Trying to stay up-to-date means you are paying premium prices for new products. Even in College I was learning statistics on a pc/mainframe system that was 2 years out of date, and I was paying a premium for that class! Complete waste of money. Not to be snarky, but when I was in high school it seemed marijuana was the main motivation factor for most of my classmates. Surely you wouldn't advocate...:happy-very: [/QUOTE]
