Teachers vote to remove technology, children from schools

The Professional Teachers Association’s conference yesterday launched an all out war against technology, with calls this week to ban YouTube and Wi-Fi. Pupils under the age of seven or over 16 have been voted out as well.
Teachers blamed loss of concentration, fatigue, reduced memory and headache on a government conspiracy to use pupils and teachers as “guinea pigs” in a nationwide WiFi safety experiment. Of course when education was firmly planted in the 60s everyone was alert, rested and fit at schools.
The conference also voted not to extend the compulsory schooling age to 18 -from 16- and to raise the entry age to 7 -from the current 4-5. Surely they must do all they can to prevent pupils from staying long enough to actually learn anything. Otherwise it’d just be a generation before their collective are found out for the useless, malevolent tossers they really are and booted off to a gambling exile in Sealand.
These are the people you trust with your children’s future. I rather stay childless while they’re around…
From The Register’s article:
the UK’s education system is in a state, but all will be OK if teachers don’t have to use computers, networks, or have to deal with any kids. Alternatively, summer holidays could just be extended to 52 weeks per year.
