Wow. Did you all see Diane Ravitch's latest speech?

5. So-called "education reform" is not about educating children. It is about "profitizing" education.

Health care, pharmaceuticals, health insurance, "energy", and now "education reform". Agribusiness, factory farms, genetically modified food, outsourcing jobs, credit default swaps...does anybody see a pattern here?

Computerizing education is all about control of the learning process to indoctrinate (not educate) children.

Using computers as a learning tool is in the same category as using secret, proprietary software in electronic voting machines to count votes in elections.

Does anyone really believe that private corporations will really educate children to fill the nonexistent jobs of the future that those same corporations outsourced to low wage countries?

It is time for people to get the big picture and stop quibbling about irrelevant details.

Using a computer to teach children is equivalent to putting shackles on their minds. Its sole purpose is to teach the victims of such abuse abject obedience to authority.
