I planned for this to be about homemaking and homeschooling, but now it's just a chaotic jumble of news and ideas about animals, kids, food, and other random thoughts.

Somebody should do a study

Here's the article I read about computers in education: Study: PCs make kids dumber. Read it, and tell me if you can make ANY SENSE AT ALL out of this study. Let me try to recap: using computers frequently at school makes you dumber. Using them at home makes you smarter. The more computers you have at home, the worse you do in math. Students who use computers at home have higher test scores. The students who are smartest are the ones who use the computer at school between a few times a year and several times a month. Kids with no computers in their school do worse than the ones that do have computers at school. How about a study on researchers who use computers to study kids who use computers???
