College: an institution of higher education that grants degrees in specialized areas of study. A school offering specialized instruction in some profession or occupation. This is where a student obtains the necessary material relating to future carrier plans. In most cases, this is the final step in the formal learning process.
In the school districts around central New York, there are ten new computers in every elementary school classroom. This gives children the option to get used to using computers at an early age. In the middle schools, there is an average of five computers per classroom, and in the high schools there are none. This system is very pointless. Yes, it is a good idea for a child to start learning how to use a computer at an early age, but it is those students in the high schools who would receive the most benefit from having the computers. Older students need to gather information for research papers, write reports, and almost all homework has to be word-processed. While elementary school children are playing games, high school students are being deprived. Children should be given the option to learn at an early age. If a child has a head start on a concept, they will pick up on it quicker, and may not loose it. Most children learn at a faster rate when they are younger. Computers are necessary at the elementary school level because they allow children to utilize a tool that they will need for the rest of their education and most likely for the rest of their life. Children may be unable to use computers that may be at home because parents may not feel that it is safe. Computers at schools are safe for all children to use, and will not disturb any of the parent's work. Older students however do have a greater need for computers in the classroom. Most students will pick up on the skills quick because mast of their work (which is necessary and more important that an elementary students work) is dependant on a computer.
