We recently had to Get wild blue internet access at our house. Living in such a rural area, we haven’t had internet at our house. Then our son got in middle school and all of the sudden it seemed to be a necessity for him to be able to do his homework. All of his teachers have blogs and that is how they send information to the parents. No more newsletters coming home in the folder or behavior sheet coming in the backpack, now his teachers just email the parents when there is a concern or update their blog to give information about an upcoming project of field trip! Most of our son’s assignments also involve doing some research on the internet to complete the work. We just don’t have time to be going to the library in town every single night for him to do what he needs to on the internet. So we broke down and bought a new computer and found internet access that we can get. Our son is happy because he has been telling us for years that he is “the only one” of his friends that doesn’t have a computer at home!
