Melda's Critique of "Education" by Heidi Heifer

This poem is about a person who is absolutely against technology in schools because it is not necessary.
As with any controversial argument, there are always two points of view. I believe you describe how technology is bad for today's youth pretty well. I love the line, "so it's no longer teaching but putting on a show," because I can see why teachers do not necessarily need to use technology to get a point across. Also, I like the shift of the poem starting with, "But teaching is about…" You even use different line scheme to emphasize the shift. However, I do not see the why you said that kids have ADHD because of technology. If you wanted to put that in your poem, you could have elaborated more on it.
