Comment What's really happening here in Idaho... (Score 1) 311
The sad part is during the reelection campaign to put Luna into this position he ran commercials saying Idaho has the best schools in the US. After the election...the Otter administration bent over those who supported his reelection by showing how behind the schools were after the election. Because they were so bad...this has to be changed to put Idaho on top of the education system in the US by forcing taxpayers to provide computers and distance learning whether or not this needed to be done.
What will actually happen is rampant viruses and lost laptops...along with students who aren't smart enough to handle this distance education. Since the private sector is handling this...it will be okay. When the truth actually comes out...Luna and his family will be laughing all the way to the bank with students not able to complete their high school education.
Thought Oklahoma/Texas schools were bad...but having worked in schools in Idaho...the crappy public education I got 30+ years is better than anything students in Idaho will be getting.
