You seem confused about the difference between recognizing that time when not dealing directly with the clientele is the appropriate time *during which* a break may be scheduled, and considering an entire 20 - 25% of the shift *to be* a legitimate break.
No, computers are something that *can* communication and learning that otherwise might not have happened at all, and that *can* provide shallow and inefficient communication and distraction instead of learning. The difference is that it requires slightly more effort for parents and teachers to distinguish the two than it used to with earlier technologies .
The strategy is successful, it's just that some people are confusing the actual strategy with the fictional strategy.
The goals of the actual strategy are to (1) Funnel money to defence contractors (2) Give politicians the appearance of doing something (3) Convince the US public that their country is number one in something high-tech and glamorous sounding and (4) achieve goals (1), (2), and (3) without significantly reducing the effectiveness of al Qaeda, thereby ensuring the perpetuation of the strategy.
The Zombie apocalypse, although implausible, is so viscerally terrifying because it is only an exaggeration of realistic threats. A super-virulent form of rabies is theoretically possible.
I suspect the sensationalism is probably getting in the way of the exercise being a truly productive use of time and resources, but if they're ready for a Zombie apocalypse, it stands to reason that they're ready for more realistic variations on the theme.

I see what you did there....
Use the far side of the Moon. Nothing could go wrong.

The only issue they care about is whether the future of learning is with or without the teachers union.

If you think "prep" and "break" are synonymous, you are part of the problem. In other professions people get fired for that.

But visible from space in the 16th century was *very* impressive.

Throwing money at a problem does not result in a solution, it results in a well-funded problem.
No-one is suggesting the human species won't survive.
Large numbers of individual humans might not.
Right, that's why the US is still a net exporter of oil.
...was a fine name in the rest of the world, but Americans don't understand the meaning of 'global'.
Anyone but a douchebag would release the patch.
Then why is Microsoft releasing it?
It was all about networking things that don't need networking - what's supposed to be smart about that?
...students majoring in the humanities need a few hard science courses.
in order to retain some sort of reason, professionalism, or sanity.
They aren't trying as hard as you think they are.
Are you saying that the Obama administration is part of some "vast right-wing conspiracy" to help Republican trolls with their talking points?
To be fair, that would explain a lot of things...
It was always about the insurance companies.
Anyone who was paying attention knew that.
...by fitting the definition of meme.
I'm impressed they can get that out of plain text, but 'algorithm' led me to expect something really clever.
Now suppose the US is not actually at war.
Russia has had authoritarian governments for 500 years. The dialogue was a step forward, it was just smaller than what you wanted.
Without government, how would you stop them from organizing?
Why do anarchists always assume that no-one will have a bigger gun? Organized crime is what anarchy looks like in the real world.
640,000,000 factories should be enough for anyone.
