What is the importance of scientific instrumentations to education?

Answer 1

Toys don't make or break a great educational program. Engendering interest in students so they want to learn is really the issue.


From the link included:
"The graduation rates reported in this study, however, convey strongly that far fewer students are graduating high school than we may have believed and far fewer than we would wish. The graduation rates are shockingly low for African-American and Latino students nationwide. We also see far too many states and school districts with remarkably low graduation rates. But there is also hope in these numbers. Some districts appear able to graduate a relatively high percentage of African-American, Latino, and white students. We should begin to examine those districts to see if there are formulas for success that can be imitated elsewhere. And where we see severe problems we should be more open to new ideas for how to revitalize our schools and improve those situations."

This is after they began using computers. In the 70's, we didn't have any computers.
