The professor speaks what he has limited his thinkings too, and employer has to provide the technology to his staff in order to help them cope up with what’s on …

I believe that the horrofiying deterioration in the ethical conduct of people today stems primarily from the mechanization and dehumanization of our lives–a disatrous byproduct of the development of the scientific and technical mentality. Nostra Culpa! I don’t see any way to tackle this disatrous short-coming. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.”

This morning’s “Hartford Courant” features a well-written column about one of our local schools where only one in 50 third graders is reading at grade level. On the opposite page, a teacher’s letter to the editor says we cannot blame the School Board, the Superintendent of Schools nor teachers for the failure of our local schools. The writer blaims teen pregnancy and other cultural factors.

Okay. Cultural factors are huge. Who can deny that? But I taught elementary school for five years in a poor urban and then a poor rural school system. And my system didn’t spend nearly $14,000 per child to educate them as does Hartford. We teachers accepted responsibility for helping our kids learn.

That’s it! Period! If we teach, we are responsible for our students learning; if we are marketers, we are responsible for our clients’ marketing results; and if we are addicted to technology, we are responsible for our addiction.
