5. Students today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will be unable to write! Teacher’s Conference, 1703

6. Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper? Principal’s Association, 1815

7. Students today depend on these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib. We parents must not allow them to wallow in such luxury to the detriment of learning how to cope in the real business world which is not so extravagant. PTA Gazette, 1941

8. We can’t let them use calculators in middle school. If we do, they’ll forget how to do long division or how to multiply three digit numbers by three digit numbers. What will they do when they don’t have access to a calculator? Middle School Math Teacher, 1989

9. Why would you ever want the Internet for student use? It’s just the latest fad – have them use the library. Centennial Colorado School District Employee, 1995

10. Turn off and put away all Cell Phones, iPods, and Electronic Devices during class! Signs posted around Fisch's High School, 2006

11. WHAT IF WE HAD LISTENED? Karl Fisch's question to his staff, 2006

Update apps from your computer, not iPod. Try to keep your apps organized into folders. Designate a student helper to keep iPods organized. eBay is a great place to buy cases and accessories.
