Remove all computers from the classroom. They are not necessary to teach someone how to think. They are expensive to buy, maintain and update.
Return education to local control.

some problems with removal of 'puters...they are now part of life and daily use by almost everyone. I realize that they don't teach how to reason, but there is less need now to learn and retain rote items when they are available by looking at your watch!!!...I feel that way about calculators too....once that you are certain that the student knows how to determine the solution to the math problem by figuring it out the proper way....let them use calculators to do the routine repetitive calculations...

No problem with the computers in the classrooms. The problem is with the teachers and even more with the administrators found there.

Return schools to local control? You betcha. 99% of the problem solved.
