text: Making school virtual is a horrible plan, especially regarding less fortunate students. For instance, one could imagine that a child and their parents were apart of the lower class. The child lives in section 8 housing and can not afford new clothes. He is malnurished and always hungry. The only chance that this child has in being successful and helping out his family is school. If this child does well in school and gets a scholarship, then he will be given the opportunity to get the proper training to get a great job that pays well and he will be able to help his family out. If the school system required all students to use technology in order to get access to classes, then that child would have lost all hope in being successful because his parents would not be able to afford any technology that could access the online courses. Therefore, making school virtual provides an inequitable environment for students who can not afford technology.
