RE: HP Prime or HP 50g
We're lucky we can still even produce engineers in this educational climate (USA):
My oldest daughter is in the "gifted" program at her middel school (USA). Her school emailed me a 36 page legal document today outlining her "rights" pertaining to recieving ANY changes in her circurliculum vs the standard one. 36 freakin' pages! When she was in the 1st grade, I asked her teacher (not the "gifted" program instructor) if she could give my daughter some harder math homewook. The answer was... "I'll have to speak with the District's Mathematics Program Director for permission to change her IEP (Individial Education Plan) to include areas outside of her standard IEP... blah, blah, blah...". Teacher's are POWERLESS to make a difference in a child's life... their hands are tied ! She couldn't hand my daughter a multiplication table without first satisying a 36 page cover-our-collective-azzes legal document. The process takes weeks. Meahwhile, kids in India are learning math in dirt floor buildings with no such restrictions. Sorry for the rant... |
