“teaching and learning is taking place.”
but apparently not grammar. 1
to be honest, I think a high school level class on computer-assisted graphic design should spend at least half the time teaching the basics of graphic design - something that does not require the use of a computer. otherwise it’s a bit like teaching kids in shop class to use the tools without some technical design or wood and metal (to use an example from my generation). and really, who wants to build a bong that leaks?

It seems to me that if they don’t make the students read things like Robert Bringhurst’s “Elements of Typographic Design”, etc., then what we’re going to get is more ugly crap.

This is all trickle-down from the President.
