Ands when their children suffer for not having the same resources as other shools across the country who will they blame???

I was about to congratulate them for return to a focus on more classical education with fewer distractions, but then I saw they were getting rid of the Wi-Fi for health concerns. Sigh.

My kids school has wifi, no health issues reported there, they use it for alot of purposes all of them educational, there is a vast wealth of educational resources online plus they use the smartboards and D2L to communicate with parents. Plus with the way the world is headed there will be a definate disadvantage to these kids without it.

Again, how do their children operate at home, the mall, the movie theatre, restaurants, and how will they function at post-secondary institutes with all this wi-fi? It's virtually everywhere, so why only "effects" in school?

An excuse to go home early.

Brilliant. Blame the scary radiation, when that big yellow ball in the sky gives many times the radiation exposure of wi-fi. Plus, the symptoms seem to be more in line with chemical poisoning, such as mold in the most likely poorly kept air conditioning system or fumes from carpet and paint.

Knee jerk much?

Wi-Fi is new. It sends sinful pictures of naked women to your smart phone using invisible rays.

Clearly it is vile witchcraft, a tool of Satan and must be burned at the stake.

Wait, they can't do that anymore.

It must cause Cancer.

I sit under a WiFi all day long. Has no effect on me at all.

[jeff744]

They had 'scientists' (the rich kind) state wi-fi has effects on kids.
