Laptop Initiative

The laptop initiative in Asa Clark has so far been an outstanding program. It has helped many students with their learning experience. However, in order to help not only the students but the teachers in this program, the School needs to let the students take their laptops home.

Even though teachers in Asa Clark middle school think the students are scatterbrained, absent-minded, or neglectful, one teacher, Mr. Felsar thinks that taking the laptops home is a great idea. It would help his class because than he will almost go paperless in his class. Since all the schools in the district are trying to “go green” this is a perfect way to reduce paper. With the laptops all homework can be done on it. We would be saving 100 sheets of paper each day.
Taking the laptops home will help not only the teachers, but also the students. Even though they might have computers at home, the students might not have some programs used at school. One of the most commonly used applications in the school is OneNote. This program is unlike other Microsoft applications; you have to buy it separate. At my home we have the basic Microsoft office set. This include all the Microsoft programs we use in school except OneNote, the most used one. This is why we need our laptops at home.

Even though many teachers dislike the idea, the laptops of the 8th grade students in Asa Clark Middle School need to be able to be to be at 8th graders’ house in order to enhance the learning experience for the teachers and students of Asa Clark Middle School. Just as Uncle Sam would say I need you to let the Asa Clark Middle School students have their school laptops at home.
