I think he has a point.
My problem with schools are that they don't teach what is needed in the real world.
For instance..
Teach me how to balance a checkbook
Teach me about interest
Teach me about the stock market
Teach me about finances (homes, autos and such)
I think alot of people early on get in trouble with most of these simply because they don't know enough about them.
As for the video, computers are here to stay. Why not teach more with them. I remember back in high school math classes, we weren't allowed to use a calculator. WTF was the point of that. Were calculators going to dissapear?
Now everyone who carries a phone has a calculator with them at all times.
