    Flight Simulator - Education Style!

         I can't believe it!  A classroom management simulator has been designed for teachers in training.  This virtual class of difficult students marries computer technology with role playing.  It may be a decent tool for those preparing to be educators.  Who wouldn't want practice in discipline or crisis management?  Of course, the skeptic in me sees evil purposes for this technology down the road. . . veteran teachers asked to prove their worth for performance-based evaluation. . . Can you imagine a due process hearing for a teacher (cited as incompetent) including an on-the-spot journey into this Neverland?  Yikes!
