They agreed to teach the children until their contract came up. Nurses and doctors also aren’t being paid more, and they’re dealing with infected people, not being kept safe from the virus by the computer. In case our friend the teacher doesn’t realize this will possibly save her life? She’s still teaching the same number of students, her students. Not 1000 students across the state. I totally agree that as virtual education has become a necessity, the government needs to enforce a baseline affordable or subsidized internet access. Not only do our children need their education, but the people need access to information as it is released. I don’t have cable at all, only internet, and i have full access to info without fox foolishness or cnn spin. Information, and education are what will help our community thrive.

Nothing is free. Let's look into the same mirror together to see who will wind up paying for that FREE service. @anthony L

Asking for a friend. LOL!!

This is the only good thing about this..Wifi should be FREE for all through the state. And those that want a faster speed and can afford it can pay for it.. This maybe the new way of doing schools.
