OK...on three...DUHHHH!

Hi All,

The title of this post was completely unfair (and mean spirited), but I mean, really, is this study necessary?

"... is SOOO what Larry Cuban was talking about in Teachers and Machines.



(A book that was produced prior to easy access to the internet and WWW, copyrght 1986.)

Thanks for the study CDW-G but I am truly astounded that this still needs confirmation.
