I know what you're thinking... "what kind of liberal indoctrination crap is THIS?!?!" And you're right... since everythig is relative, we've decided there is no point in teaching kids anything at all...
...just kidding :p I reveal the future!
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A high school in Vail will become the state's first all-wireless, all-laptop public school this fall. The 350 students at the school will not have traditional textbooks. Instead, they will use electronic and online articles as part of more traditional teacher lesson plans.
Vail Unified School District's decision to go with an all-electronic school is rare, experts say. Often, cost, insecurity, ignorance and institutional constraints prevent schools from making the leap away from paper.
"The efforts are very sporadic," said Mark Schneiderman, director of education policy for the Software and Information Industry Association. "A minority of communities are doing a good or very good job, but a large number are just not there on a number of levels."
