Last night was orientation for incoming freshman at my daughter's high school. We had the chance to meet her teachers and walk her routes to each class. All in all pretty informative and worthwhile.
Her last class is geometry. We get a handout when we walked in the door with instructions on how to download the textbook chapters from the school district's website. Instruction are also given for those who have a computer, but no internet access. What about those that don't have a computer?
I'm well aware that the majority of homes have a computer and internet access, but why is this now a requirement for my child to receive a free public school education?
I walked out with some other parents and they had the same comment.
I feel for families that don't have a computer...seems to me, this will just increase the likelihood of generational poverty.
