WooHoo! Courtney seems to have picked up on the thread in Selfe's essay that can clearly connect it Fox's JAC essay that we are reading. She blogs about the idea, "that with 'technological literacy' comes 'equal opportunity to access high-paying, technology-rich jobs and increased economic prosperity after graduation.' " and states that, "[c]learly, the trueness of this argument is relative." My question (without scooping our upcoming discussion of Fox) is this, Is this the first time that we have seen this happen in the public school system? Is this the first time that we have promised something as the answer to all labor woes? Is this a promise that we as educators have kept? Why not? What keeps us from keeping this promise (if we do actually fail to do so)?
