Thats interesting, when I was in high school i was able to do my assignments without internet…
Well, so did I. But then again, when I was in high school, we still had to chisel our assignments onto stone tablets.
Do they really must use it or is it a matter of convenience? Just curious if now its mandatory to use internet for schoolwork.
Required. Two of the three schools regularly post assignments and supplementary materials on the school web site. They also encourage students to sign up to the schools’ mailing list. The third is less tech-savvy, but still encourages research on the web.
In addition, keep in mind that, when I was a kid, I (like many people) had an encyclopedia in the house. If I needed to do a report on boron, for example, my first step would be to go to the encyclopedia. Nowadays, bound encyclopedias are going the way of the dodo. In addition, telling my kids to go to the library doesn’t help either — very often they don’t get home in time to go to the library to do research.
