Computers
and Education in America
Computers do allow students to
expand their learning beyond the classroom, but the distance learning is not a
utopia. Some businesses, such as Hewlett Packard, do have mentoring programs
with children in the schools, but those mentoring programs are not available to
all students. Distance learning has always been a dream of administrators,
eager to figure out a cheaper way to deliver education. They think that little
Eva and Johnny are going to learn about Japanese culture or science or algebra
in the evening when they could be talking with their friends on the phone or
watching television. As education critic Neil Postman points out, these
administrators are not imagining a new technology but a new kind of child:
"In [the administrator's] vision, there is a confident and typical sense
of unreality. Little Eva can't sleep, so she decides to learn a little algebra?
Where does little Eva come from? Mars?" Only students from some distant
planet would prefer to stick their nose in a computer rather than watch TV or
go to school and be with their friends.
Their short attention spans, their
unwillingness to explore subjects in depth, their poor reading and evaluation
skills. Computers also tend to isolate students, to turn them into computer geeks
who think cyberspace is actually real. Some students have found they have a
serious and addictive case of "Webaholism," where they spend hours
and hours on the computer at the expense of their family and friends.
Unfortunately, computers tend to separate, not socialize students. Finally, we
need to think about who has the most to gain or lose from computers in the
schools. Are administrators getting more students "taught" for less
money? Are big companies training a force of computer worker bees to run their
businesses? Will corporate CEO's use technology to isolate and control their
employees?
Like
all cults, this one has the intention of enlisting mindless allegiance and
acquiescence. People who have no clear idea of what they mean by information or
why they should want so much of it are nonetheless prepared to believe that we
live in an Information Age, which makes every computer around us what the
relics of the True Cross were in the Age of Faith: emblems of salvation.
