Empowering Students

With a ton of funding, Mrs. Davis might have something. I came from a rural school and i know that a lot of my old classmates would have loved to have technology and resources such as these in high school, that is if some of them could even pay for basic school supplies. To achieve a goal such as this, some drastic contributions would have to be made in my community.

However, I feel like today's school system is headed in this general direction. Students are obtaining a surplus of knowledge and interest in computer technology. Most kids that i have known not to have a facebook or myspace are simply not able to update their status because the nearest computer is in their local library. But if someone were to ever go to one of these local computer labs, they would find that about half of the computers are taken up. Obviously today's students are anxious learners when it comes to computers, not to mention the growing demand for computer literate individuals. So it would be a win win in that aspect. But a computer lab in every classroom? That would take some serious restructuring of today's education process.
