Sadly it seems that the education system has lost its mind. If people honestly believe that students in high school do not need the guidance of a teacher then we have failed our students. As teachers know it is not just about the material in the class rather the human interactions between students and teachers that truly engage unmotivated students. It has been shown before that computers often distract students and can actually lower grades when used frequently. Do we actually think that a single "facilitator" in a classroom can watch 40 students at a time and successfully keep them from being distracted? Technology has its place in the classroom as we train our future generations but the lack of human interaction in education leads me to wonder what the lasting effects will be on these students when they are forced into large classes in college and must professionally interact with a professor.
