Croak, croak, croak. Primary school pupils should be given an iPad, because “that class words stomping past has had its day.”

two weeks I have been to the United States. Back in the Netherlands I am quite shocked by the threads in recent weeks have been in the news. Politics is already in the lane on new tax increases – the citizen keeps his mouth anyway – and there are as many as eleven called Steve Jobs-schools in the Netherlands. What the latter really means? Eleven schools do their primary school students an iPad gift and, most importantly, there is a different – read: experimental – taught way. The children (from 4 to 12 years!) At these schools will be allowed itself to determine what they do and when. Teachers at schools that receive only a ‘coaching’ role.

The initiative comes from the organization with the ridiculous name O4NT, Education for Modern Times. The 4 in the name refers to so ‘for’. Yeah, teach our children what is normal. Gallup is one of the bosses behind the ideological project to children virtually nothing more to learn in the traditional way. Because that is the result of the choices made: the iPad is not a useful tool for there, no, the device is central to the classroom. Children should not have to read more books and no more rows needed to learn. After all, there is still a calculator on the iPad? And why would you still read like a computer voice can read the lyrics? Teachers will no longer classroom otherwise transfer knowledge, because that is ‘old fashioned’. Teachers have nothing to do or. They’re only in the room for when someone has questions about the operation of the iPad.

Actually we would all have to call the Child, for parents who place their children in these schools, apparently do not understand what is best for their offspring. This experimentation with children is against antisocial to. Children need structure and discipline. They have to deal with authority. Why our children are the victims of our experimentation? For clarity, the iPad itself is nothing wrong, but with all the teaching method of the Dog and his pals did. In 2012 turned a so-called iPadschool everything back. Students should still go read books. Why are we still seeing blind and hearing deaf to the facts?

We’ll see most of our politicians, all of which are jubilant about the coming of the iPadscholen. De Volkskrant writes this morning that almost the whole House is enthusiastic about the experiment. SP MP Jasper van Dijk says coolly: “Let’s be honest: that class words stomping past has had its day.” I do not believe. My ears The only party is skeptical about the plans, the PVV. MP Harm Beertema, as no one else know what good education (he himself has been in education 34 years and he was with Better Education Netherlands), says in the same newspaper: “With the Steve Jobs Schools we fall back into that trap [just As with the Study concept - FV], this time with iPads and even younger children as victims All that whining about the Einstein Generation Come on, like a new man is risen “

…

After returning from the United States, I am in the other cases from one surprise. Increasing taxation as if it were the most normal thing in the world. There are eleven iPadscholen, because a group of education innovators would welcome. Netherlands is the buttons helped by politicians with an infinite leveling urge and a morbid experimentation. Our politicians have a few exceptions, neither the best nor the best with us with our future generations. How else can you explain this news?
