It would matter cause their parents are paying for it through their taxes.

I'm sure it's probably the cheaper model.

It would be so awesome if this happened to my school, but I doubt it will...

I go to Stuyvesant HS downtown, and the main focus is on Math/Science.
Nobody cares about music or art in this school, but I do!

not really the schools network should block it anyway and wouldn't it be even easier to look at porn on a psp and not get caught.

As a music teacher, I love the idea of using Beaterator in the classroom. However, I'd definitely stop short of saying it's the same as learning music theory.

agreed. it's pretty much the same as giving a kid a calculator and then claiming that he's learning his times tables, how to add, subtract, etc.

@ Awetoebawt

Why would you assume that?

I assumed they were teaching the same material as before and just using Beaterator for illustration and application purposes, which I think is reasonable.

I'd like to see more about how the lessons are taught, but I really don't think this is the same as an education. It just seems to be a way to do ANY kind of music education rather than none at all.

I agree, this way they don't need to pay a music teacher and any teacher will do.

Sacrificing a little too much to save money can be harmful.

@Awetobot-- no I like Guitar Hero (or more precisely, I like Rock Band). However, it's not playing an instrument. That's not to say there's nothing to be learned there, though.

@killdash-- I didn't interpret the article that way, but you may be right. If that is the case, I'd tend to agree.

Man..it must be cool to be a student now..with all these techie gadgets! When i was in high school, the closest that we got to a music class was chorus or band class. Now they're offering a DJ'ing class?! That's freaking awesome! I wish that I could've taken that class is all I'm saying.
