Just wait... Democrats/Liberals are going to insist that Steve Jobs submit to a DNA test to confirm that he hasn't been replaced by an alien, or Republican look-alike.

Hmm... Steve is on a roll lately. New meds?
Anyway, school administrators and boards will totally suck this up. More sales to schools maybe.
And Dell will get more purchases from teachers.
To: Swordmaker
Wow.
I've always wanted to like Jobs. Maybe he's turning sane.
To: Swordmaker
Bravo to Steve Jobs! The eleven years I worked in a school district personnel office, not one time, never was a teacher fired.

Okay, I'll admit it, that's twice in 2007 Jobs has endeared himself to me. :') Of course, he may just be trying to take the heat off Segolene Royal...

Liberals who run businesses learn to live with a certain Cognitive Dissonance. It doesn't mean he's turning over a new leaf, but it is fascinating to watch.
To: Swordmaker
This statement is consistent with his past comments on public school education.
Jobs is a longtime advocate of home schooling, and Apple has a homeschool page with product discounts.
Jobs has also spoken in favor of vouchers for private schools.

Textbooks would be replaced with a free, online information source that was constantly updated by experts...Steve, you of all people should know that "there is no such thing as a 'free' lunch".Wiki needs to be viewed with the knowledge that content providers aren't paid; only the owners are making any money...

If it were easier to fire teachers, what guarantee would there be that the best would be retained? Who would judge them, and on what basis? How many good, experienced, but higher paid older teachers would be fired to make way for less costly, less experienced, and untested beginners?
