iPads Take a Place Next to Crayons in Kindergarten

April 13th, 2011

The elite want to liquify your child’s brain, squirt it into a plastic tube, package it up and route it to their private prisons, wars for resources, and dead end cubicles. This process should be automated to the extent possible. Here’s a visual representation of what public education has become:

Kindergarten classes are supplementing crayons, finger paints and flashcards with iPads, a development that excites supporters but that detractors worry is wasted on pupils too young to appreciate the expense.

Next fall, nearly 300 kindergartners in the central Maine city of Auburn will become the latest batch of youngsters around the country to get iPad2 touchpad tablets to learn the basics about ABCs, 1-2-3s, drawing and even music.

“It’s definitely an adventure, and it’ll be a journey of learning for teachers and students,” said Auburn kindergarten teacher Amy Heimerl, who received an iPad on Tuesday ahead of the full deployment in the fall. “I’m looking forward to seeing where this can take us and our students.”

    All I see is wholesome meat being squished into plastic tubes, then arranged into conforming formations by mindless robots. What’s the threat? [/snark]

    Kevin, I work in the local public school system (I need the money and there’s not much work available) and you wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen. It’s mind blowing.

    @Ann

    A friend of mine teaches at community colleges (plural, because there are no permanent positions available) in Southern California and my wife was an instructor at a public university there. I’ve seen the bluebooks that they had to grade.

    After that, I doubt that you could shock me at all, but feel free to let it rip, if you like.

    In my work I find myself in a lot of food(?) processing facilities. One advantage to that type of stuff is that it will rarely get a food born bacteria problem. The chemicals used in it kill any living matter.
    I’m from eastern PA. Thanks to the local Amish, I have been eating organic before it became a fad.
