A Silicon Valley School That Doesn’t Compute

“The chief technology officer of eBay sends his children to a nine-classroom school here. So do employees of Silicon Valley giants like Google, Apple, Yahoo and Hewlett-Packard.” So begins an article from The New York Times author Matthew Richtel. He describes that many researchers, even computer experts (who send their kids to the Waldorf School of the Peninsula) do not see computers at schools as positive. Computers and schools don’t mix is the general message.

Matthew D. Richtel joined The New York Times in January 2000 as a technology reporter in the San Francisco bureau. Previously, Mr. Richtel was a freelance writer for various media outlets, including The Times. In 2010, he won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for "Driven to Distraction," a series of articles on the troubling collision of 20th and 21st century technologies.
