pupils who used technology to abuse and undermine teachers
Oh noes! Using You Tube to "abuse and und undermine teachers" is so much worse than, say.... using a 9mm to abuse teachers... To think this teacher is worried about youth on You Tube... what about kids who use guns, bats, crowbars, or even lawsuits to abuse their teachers?
You have never been mid-thrust in an awesome sexual encounter when the doorbell rings, and some smarmy ass-hole in Sunday best is at the door telling you about their imaginary man in the sky, and how he can save your soul.
It's apparent you have NOT been in this situation. I have... and I assure you that doorbell kept ringing and ringing and ringing... hell if I stopped to find out who it was...
How can a screenshot prove who you're communicating with? Oh noes! Someone saved a screenshot of a chat between dudethisiscool0342 and Whistleblower45345. Whistleblower can go on and on about having a screenshot that proves! the company is hiding money for its board members... Yeah? And what good will that screenshot be? "You honor, clearly dudethisiscool10342 is the company president... because we've got a screenshot!" Good luck connecting the user with the real person.
"So when 500 or more assignments (per semester!) get made for: write a 2-3 page paper, using these sources, on x topic thats been written about to death; none of them are going to be similar?"
No kidding! I mean how many papers are written on: Romeo and Juliet
Hamlet
MacBeth
The Great Gatsby
The Catcher in the Rye
Animal Farm
Brave New World
Just those titles alone might very well produce millions of written papers each year...
Anyone remember the days when Sam Walton was alive? MADE WITH PRIDE IN THE USA! You used to see that all over the store... there was an entire movement based on this, it wasn't just a Wal-Mart thing. My father's textile manufacturing company was part of this as well. Don't need to tell you that his business went under a few years back. Anyway, go through Wal-Mart today. Made with pride in the USA? What a joke! Poor Sam must be rolling over in his last-ever-made-in-America pine box. Wal-Mart has gone so China that as an entity Wal-Mart is China's #4 buyer of goods... Wal-Mart, in a top ten list of COUNTRIES, comes in at #4. And if you think Wal-Mart plays hardball with suppliers here... In China the labor movement doesn't exist; workers rights, workers comp (ha!) and such don't exist. Lose an arm... so sorry, no job for you. Given those conditions one can only imagine what factories, suppliers to Wal-Mart, do when Wal-Mart says lower prices. If there were two factories that made plastic bowls and both wanted to sell to Wal-Mart. The cost cutting, the near slave labor conditions that would emerge to give one factory an "edge" can't paint a pretty picture. To think that Wal-Mart actually influences working conditions and helps to suppress rights and compensation for workers in China is dreadful. Made with pride in the USA? Hardly.
