Indiana County OKs Web for Summer School

Posted by TimSlavin at April 29, 2004

"Whitley County students won't have to leave home to take summer school classes this year - they can learn over the Internet.

The change will allow students in kindergarten through eighth grade to work at their own level and give more students access to the summer curriculum, assistant to the superintendent Steven Bloomfield told The Post & Mail on Monday."

Geez, the whole point of summer school is gone: as a "victim" of at least one boring round of summer school as a kid, the primary value was in scaring me straight. Afterwards I desperately wanted to do better in school to avoid the punishment of endless days spent in a hot airless room studying boring texts with the sounds of kids playing outside the closed windows all day long. Now kids can sit in a comfy chair getting drinks from mom and dad at regular intervals with the TV on and their IM running in the background. An AP wire story published on SiliconValley.com.
