Neil Bush has come up with a robot teaching tool that has teachers in a number of States shocked that they can’t get normal school supplies but they’re being forced to purchase the expensive computer for tens of thousands of dollars. Some teachers who’ve tested it say the device is useless. They insist that teacher interaction is better. But Neil’s company has sucessfully pushed 1700 machines on school heads so far.

You can’t even get basics like paper and scissors, and we went
out and bought them. I just see red, one teacher said. Sources familiar with the Bush program said pressure to buy Bush’s toy- like device comes from influential Republicans who orchestrated initial funding from huge foreign donations, i.e. Saudia Arabia and Russia.

Some school administrators aren’t afraid to speak up. I wouldn’t advise anyone else to use it, said Supt. Paul Vranish.
