Bill Gates still hasn't discovered the Internet

What should policymakers do? One approach is to get more students in front of top teachers by identifying the top 25 percent of teachers and asking them to take on four or five more students. Part of the savings could then be used to give the top teachers a raise. (In a 2008 survey funded by the Gates Foundation, 83 percent of teachers said they would be happy to teach more students for more pay.) The rest of the savings could go toward improving teacher support and evaluation systems, to help more teachers become great. He says.
That should say: "Get students in from of Lap Top teachers." The modern issue is to distinguish between teachers and baby sitters.
