“In the past, schools tried instructional filmstrips, movies, and television; some are still in use, but think of your own experience: name three multimedia programs that actually inspired you. Now name three teachers that made a difference in your life. “I do remember that whenever I saw an educational film in high school, it meant fun for everyone. The teacher got time off, we were entertained, and nobody had to learn anything. Computers and the Internet do the same thing – they make it easy for everyone, but damn little teaching happens.” I concur completely with Stoll. (FYI: Stoll is a serious computer jockey and astronomer and knows whereof he speaks.) Teaching and learning in the classroom (especially for children!) is a “human” activity, and will always be different than making widgets on the assembly line. As long as students and learning is “human” in this sense, I doubt teachers will be replaced by mechanical devices. Still not convinced?

Sorry about that. Placement delete does exist but it is only called during exception handling, it can’t be called explicitly. E.g. #include using namespace std; class Pool { }; class X { public: X() { /*throw “error”;*/ } void* operator new[](size_t bytes, Pool& p) { cout << "placement new\n"; return malloc(bytes); } void operator delete[](void* ptr, Pool& p) { cout << "placement delete\n"; free(ptr); } void operator delete[](void* ptr) { cout << "ordinary delete\n"; free(ptr); } }; int main() { Pool pool; try { X* x = new (pool) X[10]; delete[] x; } catch (...) { } } This program prints placement new ordinary delete but uncommect the throw statement from the X constructor and it prints placement new place
