Engineers and execs from Apple, eBay, Google, Hewlett-Packard and Yahoo are supporting this little nine-classroom utopia where tuition starts at $17,750 and where you won’t find a single computer or screen of any sort. Also, kids are discouraged from watching television or logging on at home.
Tech execs send kids to anti-computer school
Why are these highly-paid, cutting edge technology innovators cheating their children out of a basic human right?
Here is a bit from the article you linked:
"The thinking is that technology interferes with creativity and young minds learn best through movement, hands-on tasks, and human-to-human interaction. Students at this school are gaining math, patterning, and problem-solving skills by knitting socks. They aren’t exposed to fractions through a computer program. Instead they learn about halves and quarters by cutting up food."
I don't know about the knitting of socks, but it sounds like these big tech execs are admitting that homeschooling is the best way to educate kids. We homeschoolers use these methods of instruction all the time.
