All the millions spent on fancy new laptops (which the students then either destroy or steal), fancy new software (to be substituted for classroom learning in a ruse to give fake credits to graduate), unproved "progressive" teaching protocols forced on teachers, etc. won't amount to a hill of beans. Might as well burn the money for all the "learning" it will result in.
And lifelong learners, as some of you posted you are (me, too, BTW)? Fuhgeddaboutit. These students are not "getting it" as far as how learning takes place and what fun it can be. They see it as an interruption to their day of playing with their cell phones, looking at high dollar sneakers on the internet, and hooking up with members of the opposite sex. So, for all the millions thrown at "educating" them, you wind up with a bunch of bums with no marketable skills waiting for their next drug deal to make money.
