“Students today
depend upon paper
too much. They don’t
know how to write on
slate without
getting chalk dust
all over themselves.
They can’t clean a
slate properly. What
will they do when
they run out of
paper?”
-Principal’s
Association, 1815

“Ball point pens will be
the ruin of education in
our country. Students use
these devices and then
throw them away. The
American virtues of
thrift and frugality are
being discarded. Business
and banks will never
allow such expensive
luxuries.”
-Federal Teacher, 1950

“No generation in
history has ever been
so thoroughly
prepared for the
industrial age.”

they’re of little more

 Classroom Activity
• I want to give everyone a quick Kolb
quiz so that they can each find out
their learning type.
• I could discuss the differing
viewpoints of A Nation at Risk.
• I could weight the pros and cons of
controversial things in education
such as the new Mac Books or No
Child Left Behind.
