Ride and learn

I found an awesome article online about school buses that are set up with wi-fi. These buses allow students in Arkansas to connect online and take classes on their way to school. For most of these students the commute to school is a long ride. The students who connect can solving math and science problems with teachers and university professors on their way to school. This was an idea that came from a man who wanted to turn a bus into classrooms after seeing how bored children were on their long commutes to school. I personally really like this idea and I think if the funding is there it will really pay off. Based on the article, one of the students said that they enjoyed it and that it was fun. So if these younger kids are getting a joy out of school before school, this is a phenominal idea!
