Potential study topic

Teachers are conservative and control-oriented. Do not adapt well to new technologies. Why? Well, technologies decrease control (might not work, make teacher look foolish in front of students; worst-case scenario is that technologies will empower students to ignore/show up/defy teacher). So why so control-oriented? Partially because effective teaching (not to mention socialization) does require at least some element of control, but I think there's something even more powerful than professional interest at stake. Perhaps teachers seek to re-create parent-child (all-powerful, all-knowing role vs. dependent, mother-may-I role) dynamic. [ So perhaps one interesting study on teachers might link parenting style experienced during childhood to classroom management style and to adoption of technology. Worth considering? ]
