Let’s “build a plane,” shall we?

Tech company ad. H-m-m-m. Perhaps that explains the push to digitize anything that moves. Heaven forbid that we waste valuable time testing ideas.
Very apropo. We could use a campaign that puts a stain on the godfather of the digital destruction of public education. Maybe some kind of hastag thingy that says “Shame on you Bill Gates.” What do you think?

This video was widely used by admins a few years ago as NY rushed into Common Core and test-based teacher evals. We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The folks with parachutes are Coleman, Duncan, Gates, et al. The teachers and students are the ones left on the plane.
And as Paul Harvey would say “Here’s the rest of the story”: Later that day the plane crashed there were no survivors.
Exactly Duane…
I will bring my own parachute…..By the way, who is flying this thing, the autopilot? Everyone knows those programs don’t land the plane. It probably uses an outdated version of Google map too.
