[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 334715, member: 6546"] I hear ya!!! I hate that research papers have turned into Copy/Paste projects right off the internet without so much as even crediting the source. What happened to actually having to learn a subject before writing about it? And don't even get me started on computerized attendance and other records... It's been explained to me that because of software issues, the school cannot keep track of student attendance. What??? When I was in school (you know, during the Stone Age) the teachers had no problems reporting kids who cut classes. If you skipped school, you were in big trouble. Today? O well, if the computer doesn't say they were absent I guess it's OK. :angry: If the kids keep "learning" in this type of environment....we will never, ever be able to retire. No one will know how to do anything if there is a power outage. [/QUOTE]
