1. If it doesn't involve a well-paid teacher with a small classroom, it isn't education.
Most technology in the classroom has attempted to substitute for that. There is none. Please take that message back to the Mother Ship.

2. Ridiculous!
Education isn't the filling of an empty brain and it doesn't require a classroom or a teacher. Learning is something we do 24/7 and if you can only do it in a classroom that's a pretty sad commentary. You've just dissed every home schooler of any ilk and all autodidacts. Open your mind and let something in, or return to your mother ship!

3. Schools are more than just teachers...
..anyone can sit front of a monitor.... the give and take in group discussions and face to face contact has to count for part of the learning process.

4. Maybe on your home planet, but not this one.
Your mothership awaits. Enjoy the ride home

5. I think students will love the technology and it will motivate them to put forth more effort
