Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 8, 2007 08:53 AMWho needs teachers?! The students of tomorrow will be self-guided by internet "smartenin'" and ever-improving Googling skills. Hey, if they're going to get their essays and term papers off of the net, might as well go all the way. Do kids even bother with Cliffs Notes nowadays?

[And I originally started my first comment with "We don't need no stinkin' teachers!", but thought it could be perceived as a little non-PC. Teachers are nice people - I'm married to one now, though I have to wonder where the public schools are heading.]
