- 13. We have always had technology: From a Principal’s publication in 1815: “Students today depend on paper too much.They don’t know how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves.What will they do when they run out of paper?” From the NationalTeachers Association in 1905: “Students today depend too much on ink.They don’t know how to use a pen knife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never replace the pencil.”
- 14. From Rural American Teacher 1928: “Students today depend upon store bought ink. They don’t know how to make their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern education.” From PTA Gazette 1941: “Students today depend on those expensive fountain pens. We parents must not allow them to wallow in such luxury and to the detriment of their learning.”
- 15. From Federal Teachers 1950: “Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices then throw them away. The values of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.”
