Students in the Goliad school district are saying goodbye to paper, pencils and textbooks.

Well, students grades seven through 12 at least. On their first week of school, students reconnected with old friends and their MacBook laptops from the previous school year. The students received their laptops through the Apple One-to-One Learning Solutions program approved by the Goliad School Board of trustees. The program was implemented in Fall 2007.

    Speaking from experience. My daughter attends a school that has used laptops for the last 3 yrs. They are a good learning tool. However, students at that age don't use them just for that. You have handed them a toy and given them permission to carry it around. They will find websites that are suppose to be restricted and as soon as admin finds it and blocks it...the kids have found another one. Parents, expect calls from the school where little Johnny has detention for going to restricted websites and that his grades are slipping from not paying attention to his school work. Good Luck Goliad ISD!
