"Students today can’t prepare bark to calculate
their problems. They depend upon their slates
which are more expensive. What will they do
when their slate is dropped and it breaks? They
will be unable to write.”
-Teachers Conference, 1703
"Students today depend upon paper too
much. They don’t know how to write on
slate without getting chalk dust all over
themselves. They can’t clean a slate
properly. What will they do when they run
out of paper?"
-Principal’s Association, 1815
"Students depend too much on ink. They
don’t know how to use a pen knife to
sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never
replace the pencil."
-National Association of Teachers, 1907
"Students today depend upon store bought ink.
They don’t know how to make their own. When
they run out they will be unable to write words
or ciphers until their next trip to the settlement.
This is a sad commentary on modern education.
-The Rural Teacher, 1929
"Students today depend upon these
expensive fountain pins. They can no longer
write with a straight pen and nib (not to
mention sharpening their own quills). We
parents must not allow them to wallow in
such luxury to the detriment of learning
how to cope in the real business world,
which is not so extravagant."
-PTA Gazette, 1941
"Ball point pens will be the ruin of
education in our country. Students use
these devices and then throw them away.
The virtues of thrift and frugality are being
discarded. Business and banks will never
allow such expensive luxuries."
-The Federal Teacher, 1950
"Students today
depend too much on
hand-held
calculators."
-Anonymous, 1985
Today we still use pens,
pencils and calculators. Now
we have computers which
make our lives even easier
and I’m sure that no matter
what changes happen in the
future someone will
complain about it.
