Kids need to learn the basics

Thursday, March 29, 2001 | 9:11 a.m.

I would like to see the basic "three Rs" returned to our classrooms. Our kids are too hopped up on computers.

The brain made the computers. Computers did not make the brain. Two much staring at computers could make a child brain-dead. Children should be taught to use what God gave them (the brain) and channel it in the right direction. If it wasn't for people with bright brains, where would we be today?

Everything started from the basic "three Rs." Please return the basics to our classrooms. Without basic foundations, buildings will crumble, and so will our children.
