You are making emotional statements employing false logic.  Using
yourself and your family
as an example as if they are typical is specious reasoning.

Next you make an attempt via rhetorical questioning to imply I made
some statement that school officials are dumb.    You even put that
word in quotes as if I employed it myself.  I find that tactic
disappointing.  Then there is a vague statement about Steve Jobs
putting computers in classrooms but what grade level is not given.

someone else asked me what I personally had done to introduce children
to ham radio, as if making this about me was a productive point in the
discussion.  Moving a discussion to the personal is usually a sign one
party is unable to make a persuasive comment in favor of their
position.   I stand by my previous statements.
