text: Student would not benefit from attending class from home because technology comes with many problems. The first problem is how to operate it. Of the millions of people who benefit from the use of technology, only a small percentage truly understand how it works. The average person knows how to make a phone call or look up something on the internet, but they often have difficulties customizing their settings. For students who didn't grow up in a technology rich environment, learning online will make their education more difficult. The second problem is technology's questionable dependability. Sometimes devices don't function as they should. Many things could happen to cause a student to miss a conference or be unable to access sources. Things like empty batteries, unexpected updates, weak connections, etc. In addition, devices become less effective over time, or are made obsolete by more complex creations. A computer is considered outdated two years after its made, so students would either have to bare using an outdated computer that may not be compatible with certain programs or they'd have to obtain a new computer every two years. That is relate the the third problem with technology: expense. Devices aren't cheap. Whether it's the students, the school, or the county, someone will have to pay for the devices. Many families wouldn't be able to afford paying for a laptop. From the school's or county's perspective, purchasing a laptop or tablet for that many student would be a daunting tasks.
