Schooling without technology

We've become so accustomed to the idea that education needs to be technology-oriented and increasingly computer-centric. In the (possibly self-proclaimed and widely recognised) home of American technology, Silicon Valley, a leading school has decided that computers and education don't mix:

“I fundamentally reject the notion you need technology aids in grammar school,” said Alan Eagle, 50, whose daughter, Andie, is one of the 196 children at the Waldorf elementary school; his son William, 13, is at the nearby middle school. “The idea that an app on an iPad can better teach my kids to read or do arithmetic, that’s ridiculous.”
