Student Perception (Score 1)

As a college student it disgusts me to see money "blown" on something like ipods for students. Tuition costs are rising, the budget is a struggle, and our governor would love to get rid of the tax cuts, so the obvious next step must be ipods for students. I think this would run right up there with her idea of giving all kindergarten children laptop computers. The city of Detroit has to close 13 education buildings soon, but technology in the classroom has priority. Now I don't want to sound as if I don't understand what the ultimate goal is, but I think the priorities have gotten severely messed up. I am not concerned with my own well being at this point, but that of everyone to come. Yes, ipods are great, but students need to learn how to communicate and be successful through hard work and studying. Not every want is a need and right now our state needs someone who knows how to help.
