A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute

In the article A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute , it states how this one school can teach in this century by using no technology at all. It goes on to say how this one school in silicon valley, the Waldorf School, is a private school who teaches theres kid everything without technology, with an exception of a couple of movies, and is fine without it. Its not like they cant afford it, because they charge $17,750 from K-8, and 9-12 is $24,000. This is also very ironic, because many of the people that send there children here are workers for Google, Apple, HP, Yahoo, and so many more. They say their kids do not need technology until they are older and they can figure it out themselves. One man says "The idea that an app on an iPad can better teach my kids to read or do arithmetic, that’s ridiculous.” I disagree, and think they can help you.
