Yahoo! Is In A Buying Mood Again

Posted by on May 20, 2009 | 4 Comments

There should be an image here!I want to be excited for Yahoo! about something, I really do. But seeing it spending more money on projects that will likely further push it into obscurity is something that I am really struggling with.

It seems that Yahoo! is looking to purchase young upstart social networking sites. Yes, the same company that is failing in every sense of the word is looking to add services to their existing bundled rather than improving on what it already owns.

To point out just how sad this is goes without saying. Despite this feeling of Yahoo! continuing to ignore its need to fix its existing properties, it is intent on expanding its reach. A reach into what is something still trying to be figured out apparently.

      One on one time with students is an excellent way to improve the students education. By allowing questions to be asked in private which would otherwise embarrass the student, it allows those questions to be answered.
      The next logical step to this law is to disallow any and all involvement between a student and teacher in private at all. Of course, this would lead to disallowing any and all involvement between any school official and a child without a larger group and, by necessity, would disallow the involvement of any adult and any child in general.
      Of course, then there’s the possibility of an adult/child orgy which would follow the letter of the law so I guess the courts would have to rule out involvement between adults and children at all.

      Alright, here’s the plan. From now on, children will learn exclusively from the internet but only the sections not involving adults at all. Children are only allowed to learn from other children and socialize with other children.

      I can’t believe there are so many bad apples in the state of Missouri’s teacher basket to justify such reaction. Instead of barring student and teacher interaction, which is intended to educate, the state government should foster family involvement in kids’ education and develop students’ awareness of what constitutes proper student-teacher relationship. Preventing social media contact seems like a simplistic bias, a tragic misunderstanding of what education means.
