For the faithful....

Has Steve Jobs shown his true face?
Does he really think on such a basic level? (Teachers that can't handle new technology should be sacked!)

Hi

Well he doesn't actually say teachers should be sacked specifically for not handling new technology. He uses the description 'weren't any good'. The words 'Bad Teachers' are also credited to him in the article.

I'm OK with that.
I've actually had an employee I couldn't sack due to odd circumstances and I found it to have a hamstringing effect, if that is a word ;-) I shudder to think of the kind of education some kids in the 'States are getting.

I also don't like the chances for some of Steve's kind of ideas, such as faster Internet and Wikipedia-style reference materials etc, in the same kind of classrooms where Intelligent Design is already popular.

Oops, I've shot my mouth off again! ;-)


Have fun
Paul
