Journals/Maligras Letter to School Board

1001 Hoadly

Trusted Members of the Redacre School Board, Once again, the proposed budget does not allow for the expansion of our school system's technological resources. I recognize that the circumstances generated by living within the RQZ threaten to render money allocated for certain digital technologies redundant and wasteful - if the students elect to remain in town for their entire lives, as so many of my esteemed colleagues seem to have done. I also recognize that it is a choice to live within the bounds of such a zone. Further, I agree that the pace of developing technology has rendered many aspects of human culture ugly, even reprehensible.

However.

If our students are going to survive in the world as it is, rather than as we would have it - isn't it reasonable to expose them to the tools so much of this world deems as essential to success?

Yours in Hope,
