60 Mins Piece: Can't Find Decent Employees?

[lazydays]

I had the opportunity to tour a local public school and I was amazed by the amount of electronics in the classroom. Middle school students were making their presentations using state of the art projectors and Microsoft PowerPoint. Rather than being impressed I simply wondered how much time was spent playing with these gizmos vs learning. I am all for equipping both students and teachers with the tools they need but I suspect they sometimes go too far.

Also, I enjoy watching vintage tv shows and I am struck by the contrast with current tv. The older shows (that I watch) demonstrate basic respect for people, especially children for adults, where current programming seems to glorify lying and disrespect. I realize the older shows did not represent how things really were but the current shows certainly do encourage poor behavior.

Now get off my lawn!
