Quite an interesting read. it’s unfortunate that such stringent laws are being passed by the UK government. Once the students feel they are unwelcome it would be an unconducive environment for them to study instead of complaining they would opt to study somewhere else in future.
I understand how technology is changing the world today in vast areas of our lives and our children’s live and how important it is to stay in the loop for the many changes. Teachers have a hard enough job trying to get children to sit still and follow directions and because computers are so loved by the youth today with all of the video games and the texting and tweeting learning on the computer in the classroom should be very enjoyable. I wish they had this kind of learning when I was a child. However, it can take away from the chalk board experience which I rather enjoyed as a youth.
