“Students today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend upon their slates which are more expensive. What will they do when their slate is dropped and it breaks? They will be unable to write!”
(Teacher Conference, 1703)
“Students today depend upon paper too much. They don’t know how to write on slate without chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?”
(Principals’ Association, 1815)
“Students today depend too much upon ink, they don’t know how to use a pen knife to sharpen a pencil. Ink will never replace the pencil.”
(National Association of Teachers, 1907)
“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 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.”
(PTA Gazette, 1941)
“Ball point pens will be the ruin of education. Students use these devices and then throw them away. The American virtues of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Business and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.”
(Federal Teacher, 1950)
“Students today depend too much on hand-held calculators.”
