Rocketship is gone, and yet now we have fawning coverage of Alpha schools and their 2HourLearning model (two hours a day on a screen = full day of education). I have an uneasy feeling that lessons will not be learned.
I couldn't agree more. Even The Economist is on board! The next step is, of course, putting all tech on the table in budget discussions at every school and college/university in the country. Because right now, only faculty and staff seem to be on administrators' chopping blocks.
You cannot know the joy this piece has given me today. Also laughter. LOLing that Reed Hastings of all people is running headlong into the next edugrift.
