Teachers’ Conference 1703

“Students today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates which are much more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will be unable to write.”

Principal’s publication 1815

“Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know how to write on 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?”

National Association of Teachers, 1907

“Students today depend too much upon ink. They don’t know how to use a pen knife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never replace the pencil!” 

The Rural American Teacher, 1929

“Students today depend upon store bought ink. They don’t know how to make their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words or ciphers until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern education.”

PTA Gazette, 1941

“Students today depend upon these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib (not to mention sharpening their own quills). 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.”

Federal Teachers, 1950

“Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in Our Country. Students use these devices and then throw them away! Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.”

“Students today depend too much on computers. They don’t know how to read a textbook. What will they do when the computer breaks? They will not be able to learn.”

How you can flip learning ?Blended learning approach
