Today we would save the Baby and recycle the Bath Water.

So it should be with Education and Technology.

Today's child uses an iPad as a busy box.  At the age they get cell phones they may be texting before they start school.  How do you educate this child?

Let reading and writing develop the way speaking and listening developed.  Adults and Peers gave them a jump start with language and soon the child was off and running.  Children learned to speak and listen because that is what everyone does.  We need to give them a jump start and they will learn to read and write the way they learned to speak and listen.

When school starts the teacher can develop the skills the child has and introduce the use of the pencil.

  • Teach them word processing on a computer and transcribe it to paper.
  • Teach them writing on paper and transcribing it to a word processor.

With that as a basis the student can concentrate on higher learning rather than penmanship

On the other hand the student should be able to write a thank you note.
