Luna's proposal will hurt education system

| March 24, 2011 7:00 AM

This letter is in opposition to Luna’s education reform bill. As a former high school student, I believe replacing teachers with laptops is a bad idea.

If this bill passes, our education system is going to be destroyed, along with 700-1,000 teachers’ jobs. It is going to be required that each high school student passes six online classes to graduate. From previous experience. I found online school to be nearly impossible to complete without an actual teacher present to guide you through your work step by step.

There is no logical choice; the choice is in the hands of the government. Next year and years go come are going to result in higher drop-out rates if Luna’s education reform bill passes.
