iPods and Political Insanity
Where do politicians come up with these idiotic ideas? I read over on Moderate Voice that Democrats in Michigan want to give every child an iPod. They call it an investment in education.
How many people reading here think those iPods would have so much as a chance of being used in any way relevant to education? Some kids, sure, but any sort of reasonable number? What if they lose the iPod? What about when they get damaged?
Makes me think about bread and circuses.
I’ve heard that iPods can have educational benefits, but when a state is having the kinds of financial troubles that Michigan is, I would expect there to be far better ways to spend that limited funding.
