http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/education/mooresville-school-district-a-lap... "It's not about the box. It's about changing the culture of instruction -- preparing students for their future, not our past." Right. In the past we might have helped prepare students to work on an assembly line. This sounds more like we're preparing them for the exciting, wonderful world of data entry. I'm glad the NYT at least put a hint of doubt at the end of the article, but I'd rather see a skilled ethnographer's take on what life is like for these students.
