NBC Nightly News (12/6, story 11, 2:20, Williams) reported, "As high technology becomes more and more a part of most school experiences in this country we have a school that is rejecting technology completely." NBC (Ellis) added that at the Waldorf School of the Peninsula in California, "learning is hands on-blackboards, chalk, paint. Even shovels but no computers." Ellis continued, "The Waldorf method is almost 100 years old. Nationwide there are 30,000 students at 160 schools. ... In the upper grades Waldorf students do use computers, but sparingly." Ellis noted, "And education experts say despite decades of computer use in schools, the benefits are hard to compute."
