In the beginning Cuban introduces us to all the types of school reforms. He also mentions some of the major school reforms throughout the chapters, but in the end I felt that I finally understood why he was doing so. School began as an institution that helped to produce civic citizens for a democratic society, but in the end our public goal has changed. We appear to be more interested in helping students board a fast track to the economy. In hopes of increasing production, managing quality or simply improving it. The big question is; are we increasing the amount of traffic on this express lane by incorporating technology into the classroom? Cuban answers this question with a resounding no. It appears that many more changes would need to take place for technology to improve or change education in the classroom. In the end I agree with what Cuban is saying. However, maybe we need to get back to the original mission of schools.
