And after many years of virtual crap and the common operating system, they will still have real loans and no jobs.

I say why not a neonatal Common Core, to prepare the unborn for life in this whacked out world.
Why not just abort them, so they won’t be an expense to the state?

Uh Harlan, that’s not nice.

The most idiotic idea I’ve ever heard, and lately I’ve heard a lot of them. Little kids need to explore, play, create, imagine, get dirty and take risks. Most of creative thinking skills are established in the brain in the first 18-24 months of life and it comes about through unstructured play. STOP experimenting with the lives of children and let them grow up as functioning, caring, curious human beings.
Plea$e, don’t give Pear$on, K-12 & Eva Mo$kowitz any more idea$!
GREAT IDEA, THO$E VIRTUAL FRIEND$, A$ LONG A$ THE FRIEND APP$ ARE $UPPORTED BY GOOD $UMMATIVE TE$T$ TO EN$URE THAT THE KID$ ARE BEING PROPERLY $OCIALIZED TO EXHIBIT GOOD 21$T CENTURY WORK $KILLS–GRIT, TENACITY, PER$EVERANCE, OBEDIENCE, AND $UB$ERVIENCE. WE CLEARLY AREN’T TE$TING TOT$ ENOUGH, N’E$T-CE PA$? IF THEY CAN HOLD A PENCIL, THEY CAN LEARN TO BUBBLE IN BUBBLE$, AND VIRTUAL FRIEND$ WON’T TEACH OUR FUTURE WORKER$ ANY BAD HABIT$ LIKE INDEPENDENT THINKING!
BTW, I AM U$ING MY NEW FONT. IT’$ CALLED “GATE$.” WHAT DO YOU THINK? NICE, HUH? IT PROVIDE$ A CON$TANT REMINDER ABOUT WHAT’$ REALLY IMPORTANT IN THI$ EDUCATION BIZ. I HEAR THAT IT IS BEING ADOPTED BY ARNE DUNCAN’$ DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND MINI$TRY OF TRUTH.
