Sorry I don't have a link, it was just on the news (TV). Apparently, there's this computer class that 2nd graders are taking in school and they've started using Twitter and they were talking about how it teaches them math (because of the 140 character limit) and how to spell (obvious). All of a sudden, I feel lame for using Twitter now.

I laughed. And it felt wrong :(

And yeah, how is that supposed to teach kids math? I think there are better ways to do that. But it might be a good way to learn how to spell.

I was gonna say, not much math going on when the 140 counter decreases as you type.

Go back to eating tea bags halo troll.   You are a prime example of why kids (w/ low GPAs like yours) should not be allowed out of their cells.

Spelling? I have to abbreviate words and the like to make them fit my sentence. That isn't helpful. And this idea is stupid.

I guess I'm the oldest one here because I had to Google search and find out what the hell 'Twitter' is. That, and I remember a time when we used pencils and paper in class, not computers. <sigh>

So what exactly do they Twitter?

  • I just tagged Billy on the playground.
  • My teacher is a doodie head.
  • I just pooed myself.

I don't care what 2nd graders think anymore.

Off Topic
GPA: grade point average: a measure of a student's academic achievement
"Hexpane said: Go back to eating tea bags halo troll.   You are a prime example of why kids (w/ low GPAs like yours) should not be allowed out of their cells."
The worth of someone cannot be measured by a number or letter, let alone an arbitrary system such as this. Marks are not a measure of intelligence or creativity: what they measure is how well we do on tests and nothing more. Go back to your cell.

On Topic:
I doubt that this will really help them learn better. If anything this seems like more of a distraction.

I heard somewhere that not only are 2nd graders using Twitter, but that 13 year olds are getting knocked up in England!!!


Seriously...2nd graders using Twitter isn't a fucking crime.  It's the internet.  Deal with it.  There are worse things they could be doing.

I'm 18 and I'm more mature than most of the guys that I work with. And most of them are in their late 20's.  Just because your older does not mean you'll be more mature.

Why the pediophobia? To say that people under the age of 25 can't contribute to anything is incredibly closed-minded.

I guess if you were on some kind of weird nostalgia forum where it was a requirement to be old enough to remember things through rose-tinted glasses, it'd be a necessity...
