Why shouldn't we give our teachers a license to obtain software, all software, any software, for nothing? Does anyone demand a licensing fee, each time a child is taught the alphabet?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do read licenses, and they aggravate me, but a computer isn't much good without software. When I need a product, I hold my nose and click 'agree.'
Textbooks are no longer given to schoolchildren; they're too expensive. So they're given to the teachers, who probably need them more.
We have every resource necessary to provide access to education for every child on the planet; we just need to commit to enabling it.
If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge.
Research and development needs permanent tax credits to build the technology that spurs our growth. But no government programs alone can get America's students to study more science and math; parents must push and help their children to meet this goal.
Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.

Giving education away for free is a really good idea, but it can't be the future of education. There has to be a business model around it that actually works.
Teachers need to be paid like professionals.
As a former board member for Teach For America, I understand that every child has the ability to learn and that, no matter their circumstances at home, we have a duty and a responsibility to educate them and to do it well.
