Technology is advancing and schools should be up to date with it. Instead of using binders, students should be using laptops to carry everything they need for school. Textbooks should be recorded on CDs, and homework could be transported by e-mail. Classes could be recorded on videos and put on the Internet for students who were absent. More teachers are starting to get up-to-date with the most modern items in technology to use in their classrooms. Kindergarten teachers to college professors are incorporating technology into their classes to reach further out to their students. All they need is the right equipment and the extra push to get going.
However, not all teachers are ready to make the jump from old-school to tech-school. Who knows when they'll finally be up-to-date with the latest in tech-teaching?

I agree with you guys to a point... what if the laptop get lost or stolen? Homework might get deleted by accident or something. You'd have to buy the laptop, too. Some kids don't have a computer and might not have access to the Internet.
On the other hand, if you had that much technology, then the kids could stay at home, practically, and the teachers could email reports, notes and homework to the kids. On the reports, they could send a file to the teachers and the teachers could email the grade to them....

Grace,
There are online classes at some colleges and they do stay home. These classes can count for a college credit and have been found very affective.
