Fort Saskatchewan Elementary is one of those schools. But the local school took being “green” up a notch yesterday as teachers went back to the old-fashioned way of teaching, without smartboards, overhead projectors or even electric pencil sharpeners.
Once the clock struck 1 p.m., everything was unplugged, unhooked, turned off or powered down; even for the school’s administration who weren’t allowed to use the school intercom, make outgoing phone calls or use their computers.
“There (was) a little brainstorming for all the classes, myself included, to recognize how many things we do rely on electrical power for,” said principal Deb Weir.
She explained that though the teachers won’t have a set plan to focus on discussing global warming and the amount of energy individuals use in their daily lives, it would be hard to not talk about it.

Great lesson they're teaching the kids. That telephones and computers are bad? Hey idiots! Computers are what make it possible for me to receive and pay all my bills online instead of the companies having to physically mail me a bunch of paper bills and me having to physically mail them back a bunch of paper checks in paper envelopes. Telephones are what make it possible for me to communicate with other people without having to get in my car and drive to where they live.
I bet the kids thought this was the stupidest thing they'd ever witnessed.
