		<description><![CDATA[This type of cr_p spending by school districts have been going on for years.
I spoke with the IT advocate from a local school district in 2001.  She was wanting to purchase PDAs for all in her classes.  She though that somehow they would enhance the learning experience.  I told her they would be obsolete in 6-months.
She did not like my opinion.

Pens, pencils, paper, real paper textbooks, paper tests are the best way to teach and learn.  I have tutored several students that have to do their homework and take test on-line.  I always told them to work out the problems completely on paper before entering a multiple guess answer.

The IT folks have generated a lot of propaganda to get as much funding out of students and schools systems as possible.

Learning is a hands on experience.  There is something about having to write it down the make the brain think and remember that is much better that reading electrons and photons from a computer screen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any electronic device in the classroom-calculator, I-pad, etc.--has the potential to kill whatever motivation a marginal student brings to his/her studies. This is because knowing which buttons to push, and looking at screen images(that emit blue light--hard on the eyes) don&#039;t convey the impression that the subject matter is worth pursuing. Regular bound books do that a lot better. But how to stop school districts from engaging in this wasteful, fraudulent spending? Especially if the school boards and state legislatures are majority Democrat? There&#039;s a point beyond which making learning easy results in no learning at all; and electronic devices(PC size computers excepted) are getting us there in a hurry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boondoggles R U.S.

When was it that WE the People advanced to the point that we can see scams in the making, that our political elite overlords seem unable to recognize with an electron microscope?

A few others that come to mind,
Global warming
Wind energy power generation
Alternative fuels production

All monumental boondoggles that our (a&#039;hem) leadership refuse to denounce, in spite of their obvious detriment to American economic prosperity - but this one is probably the worst, because they are teaching our children to be subservient  to invisible masters while robbing the taxpayer without a firearm.]]></description>
