   Any community that signs on to “personalized learning” is selling out its students. They should look before the LEAP. Even though the offer is appealing to cash strapped districts, tech is using the district to acquire students’ data to sell it to a variety of vendors over which the district and parents have no control. The district bears responsibility for turning its young people into a commodity, but it is the district’s job to educate, not exploit its young people.

   Life is all about kindness and integrity.

   In the crunch time, we will know the truth in humanity = people with a solid belief in kindness = caring unconditionally.

   The real and true educators, leaders, and authorities will make a great impact on the civilization, and peace on Earth.

   All Saints keep doing good deeds whereas all corrupted souls keep doing bad deeds. This to tell people on Earth that the cycle of yin-yang or dualism will forever exist.

   What is the ultimate purpose in PUBLIC EDUCATION? Young learners can learn and do their best in understanding the impact of their kindness, integrity and compassion toward all sentient beings on Earth.

   This typical educating will eventually erase the jealousy, pettiness, ego, greed and anger while this typical educating will definitely promote impartiality, love and caring among all sentient beings on Earth. It may sound unreal to all corrupted souls, but it can be done from educational viewpoint with time and with perseverance. Back2basic

   Look the gift horse in the mouth.
   This is about non-stop data-mining and essential for the envisioned “perfection of education” through artificial intelligence systems. Gates is a platinum level contributor to IMS Global. IMS stands for Instructional Management System. IMS Global is multinational effort to get interoperable, one-click systems for instructional delivery of content, with all content, standards, and tests delivered online. Of course, no one is talking about the end of Net Neutrality in June, how that will influence e-rates for schools and libraries, or whether those rates will be offered..

   Real personalized learning would be 50 million students with 50 million teachers … teachers that teach one student full time. No need for computer crap with one on one personalized instruction from age 3 to 16.

   I’ve said it before–the first (crack) pipe is always free.
