		<description><![CDATA[I can agree with you to a point. One has to learn to master the basic skills mentally before technology should be brought in. Technology should not be a substitute for learning. It can be an aid, but it should not be the first aid.

I&#039;d ban calculators from standardized tests such as the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT. This is the best comment here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Universities are now forcing student do to homework and take tests over the internet.  Two years ago I tutored an algebra student who was having trouble with it and observed the process.  I was amazed at the impersonal process.  I told him that he should copy the homework problem onto paper then work the problem on paper, check the answer on paper then post the answer to the online system.  As we went through several problems together on paper he began to understand how the logic worked.
In the end, his scores improved from a C to an A in the class.

This type of process in now occurring in the public school system.  The children are not developing skills because the learning process takes hand to eye (brain) skills.

The use of computers for learning only benefits the software and computer companies. It also makes the teachers lazy since the grading is done automatically. 

Learning is personal and there is not substitute for human interaction.
Don&#039;t forget the paper.  We have plenty of trees.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What nobody in education seems to want to admit is that all of this testing is driving the achievement gap wider.  But maybe that&#039;s the whole point.  Consider the benefits of having black and Hispanic students consistently bringing up the bottom half of education.  It means a perpetual source of new race-based claims against the &quot;white privilege&quot; system (even though students of Asian heritage seem to be doing better than white students).
 
The real horror here is that they are doing this intentionally.  They are destroying the future for brown and black minority children as a means to a political end.  They are no better than Beverly Hall&#039;s crew.  When it was discovered she used a generation of students in Atlanta to feather her nest did the black parents pour into the streets?  Nope.
 
Nearly all of them instantly saw it as a white system squatting on a poor little old grandmother figure.  Only a handful of black parents saw it for the outrage it was.  This endless testing program is similar in the results it will produce.  Only driven students who study at home will have a chance.]]></description>
