NY Times Article

This was really interesting to me. I think it's a great idea to give the students WiFi on the bus, because it allows them to do homework and frees up their time at home to spend with family. It's just way more convienent. If I were a parent, I wouldn't even mind paying a fee to help the school pay for the WiFi, because it's a great resource. Also, it eliminates the fighting on the bus, which has always been a problem (and hazard for the driver).

Of course, not all the students will take advantage of this everyday, and they may play games or IM each other, or update Tweeter statuses, but still, at least they have the opportunity. And, it helps so they don't miss deadlines to turn in assignments.
