That was sarcasm. My point was that if this level of critical thinking deficiency is really present, then there is something seriously wrong with the way kids are being taught, and calls that you hear for extra funding to pay for things like laptops in the classroom are really a giant waste of money until we fix whatever that is.

That's a good example of Poe's law. I decided to reply with (hopefully more apparent) sarcasm, because if it wasn't sarcasm, I didn't want to let it go, and if it was, I didn't want to be an ass, and I assumed you could take it as me going with the joke.
