When it comes to our personal policy on technology, we don't have a problem with the new digital era, but we feel that when it drives all of our attention away from the real problems we face in our day to day lives, then technology can be hazardous to our well-being. The use of electronic devices can't take away the power of a teacher educating a student one on one. We think that if you take the personal human interaction from the students, then you lose the ability to teach and communicate the importance of self awareness of and to others, being able to overcome error on your own, and encourage inner motivation in ones self.
