[quote=Anonymous]On the chrome book thing, I initially agreed with PP that the money should be spent on decreasing class size. But the numbers don't add up. A teacher probably costs at least $60,00 a year with roll-up (benefits, mandated employment taxes, etc). They get the chrome books at a super discount, so can probably buy at least 120 chrome books with that, and they will last more than a year. The technology allows the teachers to give advanced/remedial instruction where needed. For better or worse, I thin the future of education is probably one in which kids get a large amount of instruction and practice from technology, and teachers function as facilitators and provide additional assistance where needed, akin to the "Directress" model in the Montessori world. But still, folks, call your county council member and state reps.[/quote]
