An incalculably stupid idea. We`re training kids to press buttons to get answers when we should be teaching them to THINK which this machine cannot do anymore than Sesame Street teaches kids anything but that education must be `fun`. Were I running a private school one requirement for attendance would be that none of these machines could be used. Kids don`t spell they spellcheck, they don`t write they cut and paste from Wikipedia, they don`t do math they use a calculator. That teachers like these doesn`t surprise me, as one recently told my friend concerned about his daughter`s poor spelling `Don`t worry, they all just use Google`—by her spelling teacher. Teaching kids to be good machine-playing drones—how ashamed teachers should be.
All the teachers in Auburn like this deal.
The Kindergarteners get ipads, and every teacher in the school, K-6, gets an ipad.
