Do you have any idea how many schools have begun or are moving to provide laptops for each student? At least 25% nationwide. Some gimmick. Newt was not clueless, just ahead of his time.
Informed skepticism is healthy. Ignorant negativity, not so much.
Oh, so 25% of schools have laptops? Well, then, it must be a good idea. 100% have children using calculators instead of learning to do basic operations of arithmetic. So, that must be an even better idea? Correct? Test scores are skyrocketing? right?
Laptops are an expensive fad that do not address the failings of the government school system.
Newt is prone to gimmicks. The problem with the federal budget is not the lack of the latest business systems, it is unconstitutional, wasteful programs that need to be eliminated, not made more efficient. Six Sigma is just a way for Newt to avoid talking about what needs to be done. Why? Because politicians don’t want to lose the votes of people whose tax loot will be taken away.
