I agree. Kids don't need these types of concerns and distractions in their formative years. And computers are inherently distracting—as the intrinsic design of modern computers ensures that's the case.
Thankfully, my primary education was before computer tech in schools or I'd have been sidetracked by the technology and it's pretty certain I'd have learned much less. Even by that age I was fascinated by electronic stuff and invariably I'd have pull it apart or tested it to destruction.
Right, had I had the tech I'd have lost out on two accounts, not only would I have been distracted by it but I'd have likely lost it or rendered it useless by the time exams came around. Not having the compulsory tech necessary for exams would have added further unecessary stress and distraction.
- skydhash 3y agoWhen I was a teenager, my mom bought me a computer. By the end of the first year, you'd think I have a computer workshop in my bedroom, due to various part I was trying to add to the cases. I can't even remember the amount of gadgets I've destroyed trying to take them apart. If you're trying to teach IT to students, have a tech lab. If the students need to watch something, it can be done with a projector.
