COMMENTS FROM ELEMENTARY STUDENTS
We need more computers in the computer lab.
We need more computers in the computerlab at r school so we all can have are own
computer to use when we go to the computer lab because sometime we have to do a
typing essy and have to write it on the computer and he will make us get in groups
that some school computers in the classrooms could be updated to higher tecnology
and more learning aquipment.in addition to more tecnology i think we should have
more automatic soap and paper towel despencers.
We need more computers in the computer lab.

hi how are u?
COMMENTS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
I dont like technology
I don't use an account.
I knew everything before taking this class
I have a friend that is a real cyber bully she don't have any friends but she will go on
other people profiles and send mean messages to them she thinks it's funny but I don't
I really don't find it funny at all no names be said. Just a story to tell
COMMENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
If the school district was to take away the advance computer classes at the high
school, many people wouldnt know how to do some of the things they know how to do.
I would like to see a class where we can work inside computers and learn how to install
drivers, operating systems, graphics cards, and other parts inside of the computers.
Multimedia and Web Development are the best and most interesting courses at GHS. I
think i learned the most in these two classes next to math.
We need more computer classes in our school.
When you say computer project, what exactly do you mean? Is a computer project a
single day thing like where you dissect a virtual worm in class, in which case I have had
computer projectsl; or is it something that is supposed to take a longer period of time
other than one class period, in which I haven't recieved one yet. Also, does Keyboarding
class count as a regularly scheduled lab time? Just wondering...
