Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

No computer program can replace a parent.  An ad on TV glowingly praised a computer program for teaching a young child basics like numbers and colors, etc.  A computer can not instill a sense of wonder and thirst for knowledge.  The interaction of a parent to his/her child is vital.  The right computer program can only be an aid.  The primary teacher of a child is always the parent who can nurture their proclivities.  The interaction of a computer program is always limited.  I don’t care how well designed the program is.  A computer program can never replace a parent or teacher.
