As a teacher with an inner city school district, I am witnessing an alarming desire on the part of many who want money funded for a completely internet based school. Meantime, BASIC NEEDS are not being met by many schools and problems are ignored because all people care about is getting schools online. Meantime, many of our students don't have computers, and there are not enough at the local libraries for them to use on a regular basis
How about taking this money and using it to develop educational programs that bring parents to school and get them more involved in the educational process. That would cut down on truancy and bad behavior. In the schools where I have worked, the better the school, the more likely it is that parents are involved.
