ABSTRACT
Lee Harrison, a seventh-grade teacher at Kennedy Middle School, is on his way to the special meeting for all faculty and staff. Rumors have been flying around the school about some major curriculum change about to take place. After everyone is seated, the principal, Mrs. Dorothy Knight, steps to the microphone and makes the following announcement:
The hands of several faculty members shoot into the sky as they bombard the principal with questions: “Why was this decision made?” “How do we know it will positively affect learning?” “Who is Hyperspeed and what’s in this for us?” “What’s going to happen to the kids who can’t afford laptops or don’t have computers at home?” “Why weren’t we consulted?” Other teachers seem rather content and smug. One was heard to say, “It’s about time, technology is revolutionizing education, it is time to jump on board or stay in the dark ages.”
