Well, I hope they are prepared to fund computer purchases for schools since
this is going to create a considerable expense. As a Michigan resident, I
know that our economic situation is bleak. I am so tired of added
educational requirements without the necessary funding to carry them out.
Just a little vent.

Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student.
Everyone is a teacher.

Michigan Considers Requiring High-School Students to Take at Least One
Online Course
http://chronicle.com/free/2005/12/2005121301t.htm
The Michigan State Board of Education is set to approve a new graduation
requirement today that would make every high-school student in the state
take at least one online course before receiving a diploma.
The new requirement would appear to be the first of its kind in the nation.
Mike Flanagan, the Michigan state superintendent of public instruction, said
he proposed the online-course requirement, along with other general
requirements, to make sure students were prepared for college and for jobs,
which are becoming more technology-focused.
