[quote=Anonymous]to NP - my comments decrying the reflexive opposition to a new and intriguing use of technology in education - one that has seen commercial success (e.g. Stanford On-Line) - were not meant as personal attacks, but rather to point out an attitude that is detrimental to learning (i.e. "it can't be done", "it's impossible").  I will apologize to anyone who took offense at my comments - the intention was not to demean someone personally, but to oppose the use of baseless assertions and persistently negative comments without basis.   You have included my question/comments on profit in your post - I think it's clear that this was in response to the comment on "profiteers" - an ad hominem attack that is simplistic, naive and unnecessary.  I stand by my comments on profit - whatever station you enjoy in life in this country you are a beneficiary (and dependent) on the profit principle.  It doesn't promote effective change to attack people as profiteers and ignore the merits of their proposals.  There are more and more examples of alternatives to public schools and changes within public schools that are working to educate more children to a higher level, more efficiently.  I don't have all the answers, but I've put forward several options and brought to the discussion alternatives that others have tried with success.  I hope these will be considered on their merits and not simply derided and dismissed.

I welcome your comments providing feedback and will continue to consider them as we engage in a discussion of technology that appears to have great potential for addressing many of the difficult problems that our school system is grappling with - e.g. class size, achievement gap, access to specialized instruction/classes and transportation.[/quote]
