This is how a good intention mucks up the whole system.This is a waste of money and time.These kids today are smarter with computers today than the idiots in office give them credit for. I can guarantee 99.9% of today's high school seniors know there way around online. Enough is enough, We don't need your help!! Edjumacated Idiots !!

Backward...

I agree! All this is; is a program to hide political agenda funds. These kids are way beyond any of these idiots in office. The politicians are setting up a program in which they know these kids can pass with flying colors, in order for the politicians to be able to hide other funds. This way they can set the program up for $1 million, and say they invested over $15 million into it. This way they can shovel money from the program into either their own pockets or money to other programs in which are not doing so well. Then they can say "See our program worked!" when in fact that they just set up a program in which was a given in the first place.

Also, I like how the article was put together..by placing the Afro-American kid at the computer (in order to imply improvement of poor education)...(That was Real Slick!) Why not just put a group of kids all on computers since we are talking about the kids of Indiana residents as a whole??? See people.. This is just eye-candy for the public. They are using your kids as tools for their political agendas... I may be wrong... but it seems like an awful slick tactic to me... No racial offense meant by this comment rather just calling an Ace for an Ace on their handy work.

My granddaughter did an online course this past Summer and I watched her doing some of the work. It is not easy. She had four stories to read then answer some questions about the story. I read these stories along with her. She had to pick the correct answer to the story. The second, third, and fourth stories had an answer in them that wasn't even in the story- it was in the first story only. She missed the answers in the second, third, and fourth stories but she shouldn't have because they had put the wrong answer to those three stories. She had to pay for these classes and they were not cheap. Am I for online courses-NO. If she missed an answer they didn't give her the right answer so when it came time for a test how was she to know the correct answer?? I have talked to a person who is involved with the school system and they told me they don't like doing things online. Stay away from the online courses!!

jdigger,

you know how much chaos is bred through truancy? Who would babysit the kids of all these parents who are at work trying to earn a living so they can pay the taxes that the state and county ask from them?... especially the kids of the irresponsible parents that don't care what their kids do in the first place until they become financially responsible by a court judge for the actions and destruction in which their kids have done.
