From a principal’s publication in 1815:“Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know
how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do
when they run out of paper?”
From the journal of the National Association of Teachers, 1907:“Students today depend too much upon ink. They don’t know how to use a pen knife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will
never replace the pencil.”
From Rural American Teacher, 1928:“Students today depend upon store bought ink. They don’t
know how to make their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words or ciphers until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern education.”

From Federal Teachers, 1950:
“Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices and then throw them away. The American values of thrift and frugality are being discarded.
Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.”
From a science fair judge in Apple Classroom of Tomorrow chronicles, 1988:
“Computers give students an unfair advantage. Therefore, students who used computers to analyse data or create displays
will be eliminated from the science fair.”
