Technology our ruin
• “Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know how to write
on a 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 Publication, 1815)
• “Students today depend too much on ink. They don’t know how to use a
knife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never replace the pencil.” – (Journal of the National Association of Teachers, 1907)
• “Students today depend on store bought ink. They don’t know how to make
their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words or
ciphers until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on
modern education.”– (Rural American Teacher, 1928)
• “Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use
these devices then throw them away. The American values of thrift and
frugality are being discarded. Businesses and banks will never allow such
expensive luxuries.”– (Federal Teachers, 1950)
Technology our ruin
• “Students today depend on cell phones too much” – (School Principal Association, 2011)
• “Students today depend too much on technology.
The computer will never replace the lecture
theatre.” – (Journal of Traditional Lecturers, 2010)
• “Students today don’t know how to hand write
notes. This is a sad commentary on modern
education.”– (Modern Teacher, 2011)
• “iPads will be the ruin of education in our country.
Schools will never allow such expensive luxuries.” (School Journal, 2010)
