Finally, all this stuff is great. Technology is great. Independent and self-guided study is great. BUT, I think we could do with a bit more focus on the fundamentals. All that "alternative" stuff is great, but it must be reserved for those who have already learned to sit down, shut up, study and learn, and who have learned to properly read, write and compute (not work a computer, compute).
Amen to that. A lot of times I think Slashdotters take for granted that everyone is as curious and geared toward learning as they are. To me, the average computer geek seems to be THIRSTY for knowledge. However the average high school student isn't. Anyone who thinks otherwise should be required to teach for two weeks.
