How can anyone seriously compare the teaching of a child with the
repair of a mechanical contraption like a TV set? If Mr. Atherton really
thinks they are comparable, I can see why he could have problems.
(Actually, with todays modular constructed TV's, most repairs are a matter
of locating the module that is not performing up to specs, discarding that
module, and replacing it with a new one. There was a time, back in the
50's & 60's, where some doctors tried to 'fix' people the same way -- by
removing the non-functional parts, via electro-shock therapy, frontal
lobotomies, etc. It didn't seem to work very well.)
