I completely agree. thus in what I said would be an interesting experiment, I indicated outside help. the teachers, though, tend just to stick children in front of a computer and say 'go', which *is* negative. I don't believe it is so much the computers that are hurting, but the way they are used. and by the by, the closing HTML tags require a /:-)
hmmm...well, at 15 I loved learning, though I hated the way in which I had to do it. It feels less like the school system is trying to teach you, and more like they are trying to simply cram knowledge down your throat, with little concern whether you concur with most of it, or even understand it. Maybe I was just an abnormal 15 year old:) I dunno
give a 15 year old 2 hours of homework a day for a subject, and see how much he learns. then set a 15 year old down at the computer for 2 hours a day, help him build a variety of contacts online, give him links to interesting sites like this (the equivilant of giving them books) and see who learns more:-) justathought....
