Comments on: New Netbook Computers For Ernest Ward, Northview http://www.northescambia.com/2010/12/new-netbooks-for-ernest-ward-northview Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:54:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2010/12/new-netbooks-for-ernest-ward-northview/comment-page-1#comment-64149 David Huie Green Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:13:08 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=38416#comment-64149 REGARING: "why are we graduating students who cannot think,read or write or manage day to day activities,like work" Partly because such people used to drop out ere graduating. Then folks noticed drop-outs tended to not make much money and go into lives of crime at an above average rate, so they decided to force them to stay in school--wrongly thinking it would make them smarter and better workers, less inclined toward crime. You still have as many people who can think, you just have more graduates than you used to. David for keeping cart and horse in proper positions REGARING:

Unless the student is a computer hacker, (which some of them are,) they can not get access to any unathorized sites.

Some students will not, and I repeat, WILL NOT respect other people's property I hate to say. The schools, especially Northview, should be very selective when it come to the use of the newer technology. It might never make it out of the box with some of those kids.

Now they're gonna use computers? Shoot. I hope they block those myspaces and other crazy sites. I'm not against technology, Im just afraid there won't be enough supervision and some wild teacher in another county will solicit our kids... too many weirdos on the web!
