We are having our first computer session in a long time. We had a good discussion regarding the usefulness versus the dangers of computer use. Gerry thinks that there are major privacy concerns especially our personal financial information. Gerry said that children today aren't learning how to spell or do simple arithmetic or their times table. The kids are using calculators for simple math and many don't seem to open a book. Julia can recall thirty years ago when it wasn't clear how useful computers would become. Annie, Mary and Barbara felt they received excellent educations in their one room schools.They had oral spelling tests in class.We have to stop because the children are here from the school.
