Time Travel
Lewis Perelman, author of School's Out (1992).
Perelman argues that schools are out of sync with
technological change ...the technological gap
between the school environment and the "real
world" is growing so wide, so fast that the
classroom experience is on the way to becoming
not merely unproductive but increasingly
irrelevant to normal human existence (p.215).
Seymour Papert (1993) In the wake of the
startling growth of science and technology in our
recent past, some areas of human activity have
undergone megachange. Telecommunications,
entertainment and transportation, as well as
medicine, are among them. School is a notable
example of an area that has not(p.2).

Quotes from Growing up Digital, by Don
Tapscott Students are encouraged to think openly
and think for themselves, only after memorizing
everything they are told by the teacher or made
to read in a textbook. By this time, if you think
for yourself, question things that don't seem
right or question things that don't seem
relevant, you go away empty handed, ridiculed for
"not paying attention to the teacher." -- An 18
year old

Tapscott I think that technology has changed
the way adults treat me. They seem to take my

just may know something they don't. -- 16 year
