The goal is to teach in such a way as to produce the most learning from the least teaching.

Nothing could be more absurd than an experiment in which computers are placed in a classroom where nothing else is changed.

Nothing enrages me more than when people criticize my criticism of school by telling me that schools are not just places to learn maths and spelling, they are places where children learn a vaguely defined thing called socialization...I think schools generally do an effective and terribly damaging job of teaching children to be infantile, dependent, intellectually dishonest, passive and disrespectful to their own developmental capacities.

Do away with curriculum. Do away with segregation by age. And do away with the idea that there should be uniformity of all schools and of what people learn.

What the gears cannot do the computer might. The computer is the Proteus of machines. Its essence is its universality, its power to simulate

Often kids in a computer lab learn about word-processing, but if they want to write an essay, they write it by hand. This is exactly the opposite of what you want them to learn. They're approaching the computer as just another abstract school subject.

The reason most kids don't like school is not that the work is too hard, but that it is utterly boring.
