The latest gizmos and shiny new gadgets are used by school administrators to mesmerize and distract the overburdened tax payers from the fact that the "students" can't read or write or think.

I have to cut some of these city school admins a little slack, though. Most of their "students" are as dumb as a box of rocks so they have to at least act like they are doing something to earn their inflated salaries.

Some students truly lack basic ability. Others have the innate ability but do not develop basic skills in their primary school years. I was dealing with incoming high school freshmen whose reading was averaging a 3rd grade level. It's a big problem. They can't read their text books, and abstract thinking and connections are nearly impossible for many of them. These are deep problems that reflect home environments, peer values, and even natural selection. It's not something that is easy to fix.
