Jukes article was a bore!

okay here's what you do.  when you hit the Jukes article fast forward to page 8 and start reading then.  Jukes could use a better editor, or maybe even an editor period, to cut down his 22 page article to maybe 3 summary pages.  He didn't have to go through all his exhausting information to tell us that the way we grew up was different than the way kids have it today. 

He could have simply started out by stating that instead of talking about how previous generations used the etch-a-sketch for technology.  Was he going for humor?  Because i wasn't laughing at all.  i was actually getting angry and wanted to punch him for being so verbose and unfunny and wasting my afternoon.  Can you come up with a few more cliche' hack references?  what is this open mike night at the Internet Cafe?  Awful!

One of the biggest revelations in his article is that kids retain less (5%) from a lecture and more (90%) from actually doing and demonstrating what they've learned after they learn something.  Really?  Again can you point out anything a little more obvious to even the casual observer?  And if you make it to page 19, you will receive insight like "we have to make learning more fun" and "use more pictures instead of text" Ucccch!  How did this even get published?  and keep the hack coming by closing with a quote from Einstein! 

i give it .5 out of 10 for essential reading!
