This is the twenty first century our children should benefit from the technology that this century produced.
No longer can a teacher standing before thirty or more children in our inter- city public school can expect to teach our children. Teachers unions, public schools administrations and parents know we are failing with the present procedure. "The Computer Is The Answer" Look at www.arithmeticskills.com

Electronic Learning Is the key to Quality Control In Education.
Let's review what Electronic learning is:
(a) Electronic Learning presents to the student a lesson that introduces the skill, idea or concept.
(b) Introduces procedures, that allows the student to practice what the skill, idea or concept means.
(c) Make possible for the student to learn at his rate of learning.
(d) Use Quiz 1, Quiz 2 and an examination to determine if the student has learned what was intended.
(e) Record every attempt the student puts forth to learn the skill, idea or concept.
(f) For many students over time produces a large volume of information the teachers can use to improve their teaching which will lead to quality control in education.

The Parents of our intercity public schools do not support their children as they should
Our school systems are responsible for teaching our children and must adjust to the problems that confront them. To address parents not helping their children the school systems must put forward an effort to teach the parents how to help their children. Our school system have no resources of teaching parents. We must reduce the cost of teaching our children the "Three" R's. This is possibility can be removed. "Electronic Learning ".
(a) Introducing the skill, idea or concept using state of the art in computer technology.
(b) Require the pupil to be tested-quiz's and examination to determine if the pupil has learned the skill, Idea or concept.
(c) Construct a program that permits the pupil to move at their own rate of learning.
(d) Record every response of the pupil.
Now there will be teachers to help teach parents how to help their children.

Electronic Learning Leads To Quality Control In Education.
Let's review the meaning of "Electronic Learning". ASM-I "Arithmetic Skill Master I " is a good example. Electronic Learning presents to the pupil the following:
(a) The computer can present the skill, concept or idea to the pupil using multimedia, top of the arts graphic and teachers voice to remind the pupil that he is being taught.
(b) The Program is constructed so that a pupil may learn at his or her own rate of learning.
(c) The pupil is given three ways to show that he has learned his or her objective- quiz #1, quiz #2 and the examination. They must answer correctly this number of problems to show that he has passed quiz #1, quiz #2 and the examination. The pupil working quiz #1 and quiz #2 may answer incorrectly but if he or she rework the problem and gets the correct answer ASM-I will give him credit for working the problem correctly. In the examination the pupil must answer correctly on the first attempt as is what is expected throughout his or her life.
(d) A record is kept of attempts of the pupil to learn if all our pupils use ASM-I to learn the skill of the arithmetic of whole numbers and their results. The study of this knowledge brings to existence of "Quality Control" in education.

The Intellectual wealth of our country is in the public schools of america.
To be able to use our bright public school children we must produce incentive for them to stay in our public schools. A bright child knows when the public school is not instructing him to succeed in his future. Drop out in the inter city and sometime crime is an alternative, or a work day begins to soon for our bright minds.
We must present challenge and acceptance of the ability of our smart children and this should appears in the curriculum of our public schools. ASM-I Is The Best Kid Math Game on the market.
(1) Any kid 6 or older can play ASM-I
(2) You can pick the game you want to play
(3) It can be games in addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

The meaning of a computer can teach
When I make the statement "A Computer Can Teach " I mean a computer can perform as well as a human teacher in teaching skills, idea and concepts. The personal contact is not there but this conduct does not lead to learning but only to the desire to learn. Some teachers contact is positive and some is negative. With a human teacher monitoring "Electronic Learning"- the combination can out teach any human teacher standing along.

Big City Public Schools Need More Computer Labs.
Electronic learning in the public schools of America can not exist in our schools without computer labs to support the learning. Restructuring education is the promise of every president that enters office. Using the computer to teach will make the promise come true. A single teacher standing in front of thirty or more children will surly place America at the bottom of industrial countries in educational performance.

"Electronic Learning"
A large percentage of children in big cities are from low income families. In most cases the children living quarters are too small for number of children in the family.
Most middle class children have a room of their own-this is a learning space for the child.
The public school can produce forty minutes learning space for for low income children by producing a cubical for them-this may produce in them an incentive to learn -but, also a new experience. If in this cubical is a computer that is programed to teach, you will have an example of "Electronic Learning".
What is " Electronic Learning"?
Electronic Learning is
(a) Introduces the skill, concept or idea using state of the art - multimedia top of the graphics.
(b) Produces Quizzes and Examinations.
(c) Records every response of the pupil.
In a school system this produces a volume of information. The statics on this information will show the administration how to improve the instruction.

Why Elementary Schools Administrations should use Electronic Learning in their Schools?
Today's budgets in our schools systems are demanding decreases in the staff on finding a more efficient way of teaching the children on both. Electronic learning produces a more efficient way of teaching some subjects. Math in grades first through the fifth grade is an area where ASM-I can make a great difference in the number of teachers needed to teach the arithmetic skills. With a school that has two math labs that hold 40 children in each, only two teachers are needed to teach arithmetic skills from the first Thur the fifth grade.

Human control of the computer in electronic learning.
The prominent feature of electronic learning is that the human teacher no longer has contact with the pupils in the learning process. This does not mean the human teacher is not watching the learning of pupil and affectedly controlling the learning of the pupil. The advantage in using the computer is that the computer can record every step in the teaching of the child. With this information the human teacher can produce quality control in the teaching of our children. To look at electronic learning in action go to http://www.arithmeticskill.com/.

Electonic Learning is here to stay.
One teacher standing in front of thirty five children is not going to produce the learning needed.
In 1850 the teachers knew each child personally, their age and their parents. But, there were only fifteen children before the teacher. During this time the teachers was just as close to the student as the parent.
Our teachers hardly knew the children's names siting in front of them. In modern society the single teacher standing in front of thirty five children can not produce the educational results our parents expects or our political leader expect. Change is difficult in most social situations. In this case the teacher just can not produce the help needed. The computer can produce this help. Union leaders - our major objective is to help our children enter the working world to make a living. Teachers can be introduced to computer technology to help them to input into the learning of our children. If this is to take place our school systems are going to have to accept the fact that a single teacher standing in front of thirty urban children is not going to work.

Let us have a view of how to obtain the skills of arithmetic.
(1) You must work many problems in each skill.
(2) By working these problem will introduce you to the higher mathematical ideas.
(3) Soon you will see how the whole numbers was created. The whole number system is 0, 1, 2, 3… these three dots mean the end.
The whole number systems are used throughout the world to count whole objects. We have calculators, but a calculator does teach the whole numbers and its properties.
A student needs both an understanding of the whole numbers. Every person should be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers.
At this time, if you do not have these skills, you are not an educated person. Many graduate of CPS do not have these skills.
BSE can correct this. The CPS could require every graduate to pass every examination of ASM-I.

The pupils of CPS are from low-income families, but among these children are brilliant minds.
It should be the responsibility of CPS to find our bright young people. The gifted children are children the system selected are gifted. The scores on the exams selected them. The predicated children were selected by CPS controlled a few. The politically as to the middle class parents will know where and how to get their child examined for gifted schools. The low-income families, with children who are extremely brilliant, are sent to school by their parents. The bright child is board to the point of dropping out. The crime of gangs will be happy to get these bright minds. If the CPS would look at all their children, they would find a wealth of ability. The CPS structured more politically. This prevents poor brilliant children from being recognized or given up. CPS should be responsible for finding our gifted children. The code for limiting the number of pupils should take only a few lines of code in both cases. The second item we want is a “Home work Page” for teachers edition of ASM-I. The homework Page will produce a number of problems for the pupil to take home. These problems will, be produced, by using the quiz code numbers of times. The hard pare will be the grading the homework page.

Let’s help our political leaders
Everyone is looking forward to the improvements of our public schools. Our political leaders claim they are our future.
What has happen? Many of our public schools low-income children do not get the educational support needed.
No one has said what changes are in the curriculum of the public schools that will produce the changes promised. There is an answer- Electronic Learning.
What is electronic learning? “Electronic Learning” produces a computer program that:
(a) Introduce the skill, idea and concepts to our children using the state of the arts in multimedia technology.
(b) Produce two quizzes and an examination to determine if the pupil has learned the idea, skill or concept.
(c) Produce a homework page that presents to the pupil a number of problems to take home.
(d) Upon the return of the pupil to the computer – records the pupils answer to the problems or questions. Grade the homework.
(e) Recommend to the pupil his next assignment. Go to www.arithmeticskill.com and see how ASM-I works.
The base two is the computer base and is the bottom line in understanding how computers work.
If you want to find a job in the”Twenty First Century”, you must have minimal contact and understanding of computers.

Electronic Learning
A good example of “Electronic Learning ““Arithmetic Skill Master I” ASM-I is an excellent example of “Electronic Learning”. ASM-I teaches the arithmetic skills of whole numbers.
ASM-I performs the following:
(a) Introduce the skill using multimedia and graphic illustrations.
(b) Test the child with quiz 1, quiz 2, and an examination.
(c) Record the results of the tests.
When does the computer start to teach our children?
Quiz 1 and quiz 2 is designed to teach the pupils of ASM-1
In quiz 1, the problems made easy. This is when ASM-I begins to teach. If a pupil
Answers a problem wrong, he wants to know where he made a mistake. This is where ASM-I shows him where he made his first mistake.
This procedure is thousands of year’s old- show the learner where he is making a mistake.
Quiz 2 continues in this paradigm. This has been the meaning of teaching for centuries.
“ASM-I Teaches”.
It is economically necessary for many of the Americas’ school systems to consider “Electronic Learning”.
Look at an excellent electronic learning program.

Learning Arithmetic
BLOG #7
There are arithmetic facts that must be put to memory. Practice is the only answer. Addition facts -- the multiplication tables are a must. You must memorize theses facts. ASM-I directs you in these task. ASM--I make sure that you have accomplished each skill. Learning mathematics is a sequence of learning event. Addition before subtraction-- multiplication before division. How well you learn each skill helps you in the learning of all the following skills. ASM-I makes sure you learn each skill to perfection. After passing the examination of each skill we will know that you have mastered the skills of whole number arithmetic. Calculators have been introduced in the third grade. This is the worst idea in the world. Caculators are useless when a child is trying to learn elementary algerba--simple arithmetic facts are needed in many cases.
Our children must understand arithetic when orther bases that base 10 are used. Base two introduces our pupils to the computer. If you want to find a job in the "Twenty First Century" you must have some contact and understanding of the computer. In most cubicals that have a new employee will work in will have a key board. The key board means they expect you to be able to type.
BEING ABLE TO TYPE IS A MUST
Our Children must understand arithmetic when other bases are used in counting. They can't learn this with our first learning base 10 arithmatic. The computer uses base 2 - this is a fact every high school graduate should know and understand.
Again, it is the responsibility of the public schools of America to teach our children what is needed to successfully enter our economy.

The Lies We Tell Our Children!
Our parents have always told their children that, if you go to school and work hard that upon graduation, you would be able to find a way to make a living. By “make a living” they meant to find a job.
This was true in the forties, fifties—but the truth of this statement has begun to fade.
Now it is a lie that we tell our children.
For our small middle class families this statement remains true.
For the large low income families it is a lie that their parents tell their children.
Our public schools teach mostly low income children.
Eighty four percent of CPS pupils are from low income families.
When our low income pupil graduates, there will be no good jobs waiting for them.
What will be available to low income pupils at graduation are:
(a) Low income positions
(b) High income in drugs
(c) Criminal activities
Many choose (b) some choose ©. This is when they enter the “Criminal Justus System of America”.
We must change this.
If we teach our children in the elementary schools of America what they need to be taught so that they can be employed upon graduation, is a goal every educator should strive to achieve.
We, “The public schools of America” must produce curriculums that will bring back the middle class.
To do this we must:
(a) Create a typing program in the first grade.
(b) Introduce the computer in the first grade.
(c) Teach windows programs to our children.
(d) Use learning programs to teach mathematic and science.
STEP UP!

Let’s tell our children the truth.
High Intelligence Quotients “IQ” Are Distributed Through Out Our Society—Even In Our Lower
Income Families.
What some of our bright low income children have gleamed is that public school education will not produce TV economic success for them.
They have chosen crime.
The Criminal Justice System is an economical system of existence for many of our citizens.
We have:
(a) The police force.
(b) Legal systems.
(c) Penal intuitions.
(d) Criminal success.
Some will say that (d) Criminal success does not exist. This is again a lie we tell our children.
Criminal endeavors are live and are an integral part of our economic environment.
Drug sales have produced an economy of success for our public school drop outs—it has also produced a way to live even if you are a failure and incarnated. This cost America billion per year.
All this is somehow supported by our government.
Let The Truth Be Known
Our school systems are not teaching what our lower income pupils need to support a family after
graduation.
If we follow the many drop outs of our public schools we will find drug dependence; which is in
many cases are the reason they become criminals.
BSE would like to help our school systems give mathematical instruction, that upon graduation,
our pupils will be able to find a good job.
After ASM-I there will be ASM-II, ASM-III and finally ASM-IV —all this will take place in grades one through seven. In the eighth grade they will learn the computer inside and out.
With this technical knowledge, employment upon graduation will be available.

Teachers of America
My company: “Bradbury Software Enterprises”
BSE is not trying to help Public Schools or Politicians or anyone else remove you form your teaching positions.
I Emmett L. Bradbury am a retired teacher.
During the thirty-five years that I taught in the Public Schools of Chicago and the City Colleges of Chicago, I was also a Teachers Union Member.
I was on the picket line for every strike during those thirty-five years of service.
I was in the streets around our schools with my fellow union members of the teachers union.
Teachers, Public School administrators, and politicians must “Step Up and Change” the Public Schools of America.
Our goals in the Public Schools of Chicago should be to write the curriculum of every item of the instruction that will bring our economically middle class pupils back to the public schools of Chicago.
1. We want subjects in our curriculum that will help our students, upon graduation, a means of employment in some technological area of our economy.
2. The subject that must be presented is:
A. Typing. There are many computer programs that will teach our students how to type.
B. We must have computer programs that will teach the computer, its functions and how it works.
C. He/she must know all of windows projects on an elementary level.
D. Programs that explain how the computer technology works should be attempted.
Radical change in education is possible now.
We can use the computer to help us teach subjects more efficiently. Mathematics is a computer subject and a proficiency of which our children dearly need.
Although the three R’s are necessary for adulthood in our economy, there are more serious needs in our Public Schools.
The conduct of our Public School children at home and in the classroom must change.
The basic moral and ethical behavior of any thirty or older American cannot be found in younger Americans.
Our low-income parents are not teaching their children civil and socially decent behavior.
This problem is more prevalent in today’s public schools than in the past, when parents controlled their children.
Here again, is a public problem the public schools must address. Public schools must teach their low-income children how to behave in school and at home as normal American children behave.
They cannot be successful in the business world in America with the behavior they present to the teachers, and fellow students.
All curriculum changes in our public schools must include a subject that teaches proper behavior.

WHY
SHOULD I
BUY
ASM-I?
Teachers have used computers to assist them in teaching. ASM-I shows us that modern advancements in computer technology have produced a new way of learning.
THE COMPUTER CAN TEACH!
ASM-I perform every pedagogical behavior that a good teacher does in teaching a child the skills of whole numbers:
ASM-I presents the skill on screen using multimedia to introduce the skill. The pupil can replay this introduction as many times as he wishes—each time, different number appear—this can’t be done in a real classroom.
The pupil must take three tests to show that he has learned the skill. There is a Quiz 1, Quiz 2 and an Examination.
Quiz1 presents a number of different problems to the pupil. If a pupil answers correctly ASM-I states that he has answered correctly. This is rewarding the pupil; as a good teacher would do. An incorrect answer is stated as incorrect. The pupil is not rewarded by increasing the number that shows how many problems he has answered correctly. Again, this is exactly what a good teacher would do. ASM-I also shows the pupil exactly where he has made his first error. Clearly, this is teaching.
This raises the following question. Is our system of education producing an equal opportunity to learn for all our children? The answer is an unequivocal no.
Every child in our public schools gets a different education in spite of curriculum guides. The teachers of our children are different in many ways: their ability to teach, their different subject interests and, above all, their devotion to teaching.
System like this cannot produce a method of quality control.
Unlike other areas of our existence health, social behavior, and food are controlled; education is not.
THE COMPUTER CAN MAKE QUA LITY CONTROL POSSIBLE IN EDUCATION
Computer programs similar to ASM-I could be a good teacher for all of our children. The human teacher would become supervisors of the computer as it teaches our children.
ASM-I records all test responses of the pupil.
THE TEACHER OR PARENT KNOWS EACH SKILL THEIR PUPIL HAS MASTERED
(a) ASM-I will teach a child at his own rate of learning. If a parent realizes her child is moving ahead of where his class is, she can encourage him to move on.
(b) The parent will know what skill her child has mastered. To find out what skill your child has
Not learned: he can take ever examination up to where his class is currently studying. If there are gaps— go back and remove them.
(c) The parent or teacher will know how long their child has spent in each session— this information can be used to monitor the pupil as he works ASM-I. If the pupil is not working as hard as the parent or teacher expects he could be disciplined.
(d) To see ASM-I in action go to our website at www.arithmaticskill.com.

I am an educator with a major in physics and a minor in mathematics. I received a Master of Science in The Teaching of Mathematics from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago Illinois.
I Emmett L. Bradbury am the CEO/President and owner of “Bradbury Software Enterprise Inc.”
As a mathematics teacher, I taught thirty five years in the “Public Schools of Chicago”, “The City Colleges of Chicago” and also at private colleges and universities in the Chicago area.
BSE has developed an electronic product called “Arithmetic Skill Master I” ASM-I, is designed to teach the skills of the arithmetic of whole numbers to children in the first to the fifth grade in the elementary school—or to anyone who needs these skills.
In the past teachers used computers to assist them in teaching. ASM-I shows us that modern advancements in computer technology have produced a new way of learning.
“A Computer Can Teach”
When I stated —a computer can teach I don't mean the human teacher is not a part of the teaching process.
What will change will be the human teacher will no longer have contact with the children during the learning process—although, she will direct the computer in its contact with her pupils.
The truth of this statement opens the door to outstanding improvements in the teaching of our children— it makes possible:
“Quality Control”
in the education procedures and structures.
BSE has both educational and social objectives in producing ASM-I.
At present only one-third of those who enter the first grade of elementary school reach the four year high school, and about one in nine graduates.
Educational procedures should be determined by the needs of the society it serves—the practices used should include the very top of our technological knowledge. This presently is not being done.
If our school systems administrators seriously look at electronic learning, they would find that a third of their curriculum could be taught electronically.
Now the school system administrator can began to address the problems of the teachers of large cities and any teacher that stands before thirty or more pupils.
It seems the parents of our children have deserted the school teacher by sending their child to school with no idea of what their conduct should be.
Using electronic learning is going to free teachers to teach parents and unprepared children how to behave in the class room.
The parents of well behaved children and all teachers must demand school administrors and their political leaders to get this done.
Helping to make United States children competitive in the world economy is an objective every American should have.
Every child in our public schools gets a different education in spite of our curriculum guides. The teachers that a pupil is exposed to are different in number, their ability to teach, together with their subject interests and their devotion to teaching. Quality control is not possible in a system using this method of instruction.
ASM-1 uses the computer to present each item of instruction to each child in such a way that the following enhancements will follow:
(a)ASM-1 will teach children at their own rate of learning. A parent who realizes that her child is moving ahead of where his class is can encourage him or her to move on. On the other hand, if the child is behind of where his class is, she can ask or demand that he work harder.
(b) The parent will know what skills her child has mastered. To find out what skills your child has not learned, he can take every examination up to where his class is currently studying. If there are gaps, go back and remove them.
The parent will know how long the child spent in each session. These times could indicate:
(1) The pupil has distractions.
(2) The pupil has interest problems.
(3) The subject is too complex for the child and there could be intellectual issues.
BSE intends to produce a software product that will replace the teacher who stands in front of a group of children delivering learning instructions. ASM-1 will be a first attempt to create an avenue for quality control in the learning processes of children in our public and private schools. The computer will give us the information we need to improve our teaching.
If ASM-1 is as outstanding as we believe, there are several avenues of economic distribution: clearly, parents with children who are having difficulty in learning the arithmetic of whole numbers will buy ASM-1. Although this is a large market, there is a much larger one, the public and private schools of America.
With this in mind, BSE has created two different ASM-1 disks—-one disk to sell to parents and a teacher disk for public and private elementary schools of America. Both disks will have the same content but the teacher disk will allow the teacher to make changes that help her pedagogical endeavors.
We intend to present to the school systems in America a software and hardware program to meet their requirements in producing a quality controlled education for all children.
Over the last ten years the development of computer technology has catapulted into regions never before thought possible—-C++, “TOOLBOOK OPEN SCRIPT”. These powerful languages are not used to their capacity.
There will be an ASM-II, ASM-III and a ASM-IV. ASM-II will teach the concepts and skills of fractions— ASM-III will teach the skills and concepts of decimals and percent.
ASM-VI will teach:
(a) The concepts and skills learned in ASM-I, ASM-II, and ASM-III when used in applied problems.
(b) Advanced ideas that are produced in the study of the structure of the real number system.
(c) Introduction of base 10 as our counting system together with the idea that other bases can be used in counting.
(d) Introduction of area and volume.
(e) Measurement.
(f) Economic problems.
BSE in this year will produce software that will teach all eight years of elementary school math to our children
I am a veteran of “World War II”. I served in the only black airborne infantry battalion —”555th Infantry battalion attached to The 82 Airborne Infantry Division.
Both my wife and son helped me create BSE, but I am the only officer of BSE.
BSE has been incorporated for ten years—ASM-I was written using “TOOLBOOK II INSTRUCTOR” v9, owed by Sum Total Corp.
The computer gives our teachers a new way to reach our children.
From electronic learning our teachers will be able to know each child’s progress in each item of instruction, with this information she could make changes to produce better recorded learning results.
This process will lead to:
“QUALITY CONTROL”
