I might have paid more attention. I always got really bored in school cause my teachers had to go slower for some students and I was too smart for my classes. We didnt have honors so we just got bored and cause trouble lol

Brainstormin Mannford, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Saturday Nov 8 SRH, I am sure that the school would not require the students to have Internet access at home. You can do much on a computer without having Internet. For example,many textbook companies now provide a CD with the entire textbook on it--as well as audio and video--to schools. Students who use technology for learning are much more engaged that students who learn the way we did with Big Chief tablets and fat pencils.

Brainstormin Mannford, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #9 Saturday Nov 8 Big Chief tablets and fat pencils--I meant those as a metaphor for what schools are like without technology.
Jimbo Owasso, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #10 Saturday Nov 8 Technology is great, if used properly. A lap top is no different than a text book. If you do not open it and draw from it the information contained, it is only a book or a electronic memory device.
notforme Fort Worth, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #11 Saturday Nov 8 If students work at their own pace, does that mean they do not get verbal instruction besides getting their questions answered by the teacher? That is detrimental to the development of verbal listening skills. How about learning to write? I am sure they all learned it in the elementary school, but unless you practice a skill (any skill), you lose it. There are just some basic non-technology dependent skills every human being must possess in order not to be totally technology dependent that this type of instruction takes away.
Brainstormin Mannford, OK	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #12 Sunday Nov 9 I am a teacher who uses lots of technology in the classroom, and we still do lots of verbal interaction and instruction as well was pencil and paper writing. You can do both.

Private schools should absolutely have them included in that tuition.

The only way I'm aware of MC is because my son's best friend is enrolled...by scholarship.
