The BBC’s rote teaching techniques
Sam Phillips, January 3rd, 2008 7:19 pm
It seems like almost every week there’s a story on the BBC news site about social networking being used by identity thieves to glean personal details.
Perhaps “every week” is a bit of an exaggeration (those are the only links I could find in one Google search. On its first page), but it really does feel like the media are all too delighted to jump on these tales of impending doom, hand-delivered to them by whichever security/censorship firm has issued a press-release.
This is not news; it’s pummelling the same story at people over and over again. I thought we moved away from Victorian schooling models and rote learning. Enough already.
