In the first place, scholasticism wore itself out. With Aquinas, it was a fresh and daring effort to demonstrate fundamental truths. In the later Middle Ages it became an end in itself, disputation for the sake of disputation. [It became] the artificial, involved and in-grown methods of later scholasticism. The debilitating process began with Duns Scotus. While his acute exposure of scholastic errors was helpful, his tortuous reasoning initiated a revulsion against scholasticism. Erasmus expressed this attitude when he said that reading Duns only made him angry and annoyed, while Cicero soothed his mind. As scholasticism degenerated, it lost Duns’s astuteness and became even more involved and repulsive, terminating in arid mental gymnastics. The tough-minded turned to the nominalism of Ockham or the naturalism and experimentalism of Roger Bacon. The tender-minded gravitated toward mysticism, which became more popular as the Middle Ages drifted into modern times.
–From Harry Elmer Barnes, An Intellectual and Cultural History of the Western World, vol. 1, From earliest times through the Middle Ages (1937, 1965).

Yeah, just say “NO” to data centers. Your kid can live without putting rabbit ears on their heads during social media, but cannot live with the consumption of the centers. Also, it might help them to learn how to write for themselves instead of chat bots doing it for them.
Back in the day, we learned math. Then Texas Instrument gave us the little, portable calculator, and people got stupid.

Pogo: First. At age 13, I decided to marry Paul McCartney. He found someone else.
Aside. Probably, one of the smartest things any teacher ever taught me, in elementary school she gave us students each a bank booklet, and had us deposit $0.50 per week into our own accounts. We watched our accounts grow and tracked them. I’ve never had a bill problem since.

Hello, and thanks L
Your teacher’s lesson, applied generally, was the purpose of my comment; your anecdote of a specific example is well put.
