The cell phone will teach the kid much much more than an underpaid, uneducated teacher with a prideful chip on his/her shoulder still trying to prove his/her own "bad parents" wrong.. I think it's a matter of doing away with the teacher and trust technology with our children's education. Cause lets be honest, NOTHING, especially not parents will stop the youth from partaking in this 30 year long technological revolution that is the internet. Embrace the fact that it is and will always be a better teacher than some jaded stranger, factoring in that passion and interest are the only foundations of education.. IT's time for the old shrivs to stop fighting for dead ideals and engage for once and figure out a way to use these distraction laden technologies to better the educational model. It's time to give up a dead fight and see things from their perspective for once, not an outdated interpretation of it compared to the modern classroom. Kids are probably still passing notes too! They just read shit like "Hey fuck face, we're 10 years old, life is short, lets do drugs and fuck like it's the 60's and check your twitter, I shared a video of a bath salt zombie tweaker eating someones face off in the name of Allah."... You know, modern stuff like that.
