I Vote For Books

What does it take to improve our schools? On one front page story of the Post and Courier, we're told Dr. McGinley is proprosing a plan for "a typical classroom to have: a Smartboard, a ceiling-mounted projector; two student computers; a teacher laptop, a laser printer; and a document camera, which projects any image or object on a display screen." Are we suppose to be impressed? Who decides she's the expert on what it takes to improve our schools?
On another front page story, we're admitting our libraries don't have enough books for our students and "the quality of books is a serious problem." Considering the fact we are giving diplomas to students who can only read at minimal levels, I say let's go with the books.
