Sweden bringing text books and handwriting classes back into the classroom

[thewayne]

The interesting thing is that Sweden is a highly regarded education system, they simply are not convinced that cramming technology education down the throats of students at an early age is conducive to actual education. They're removing tablets from early education, which I am absolutely a supporter of. And the students and teachers seem to be responding positively to it.

Personally I think the American education system could benefit from this. I think it's a crutch to funnel ever increasing amounts of money to equipment and textbook makers.
