PANACEA DU JOUR

Will Technology Save Public Education?


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

Must give credit where credit is due...

The link to this article was posted in my eSchool News e-mail...

...eSchool News which (as their name might indicate) glorifies any technology that comes down the pike.

Maybe it's along the lines of my "know your enemy" philosophy, alerting their minions that heathens walk amongst us.


On another front...

There was another article that I received yesterday in an e-mailing from the Illinois Education Association. I chose not to post it for the opposite reason.

It was a positive piece about how the public loves us and supports our pensions by a 2-1 margin. My initial "joy" was tempered when I saw the source...that the survey was commissioned by the IEA.

I mean...

It may have been on the up-and-up, but, well, let's just say I would have been more excited if the survey had been conducted by the Mighty Quinn!

Anyway...

Below is the article and what the survey says...
