Tech can save you from a bad educational environment. I think kids need extreme amounts of freedom with guidance on what are the best tools to be used for learning. From visualizing linear algebra and analytic geometry problems to piracy. If anything, the teachers need to improve their tech literacy.

There is no way to be done away with tech on school, but some balance and freedom must be achieved.

Why an "extreme" amount of freedom?

Yes there is. Students were educated just a couple decades ago without it. We can easily return to that style.

As dangerous as this sounds, with guidance, I think it could be done. Government and public institutions love to lock the environment into something safe but useless for further learning and adaptability

I don't know that it sounds dangerous.

I am wondering what you mean by it and why you think it's needed.
