School for Future

Our opinion
Do you imagine of a school with a high quality, but low finance? Many people said,"There's an effective way of studying.Studying by using Internet." Internet could be used to browse nearly everything you need. In the future, everyone would be able studying without going to school or meet the teachers. Probably the government could give every school a school bus so students could go to school without thinking they'll get late.

The School of the Future, a partnership with Microsoft, is being built in West Philadelphia for about 800 high school students. The approximately $63 million facility is being funded by the School District of Philadelphia's capital program, with technical assistance provided by Microsoft's Partners in Learning initiative. Half of the students will come from the West Philadelphia region, the rest from other parts of the city, said Paul Vallas, chief executive officer of the district. A lottery will be held if applicants exceed the amount of openings, but the drawing will be random, not based on academic achievement. "We didn't want it to be an elite magnet school," Vallas said. "If you're going to do this high school for the future and see how technology can help instruction and student achievement, turning it into a select-enrollment school, choosing the best and brightest, would rig the experiment so to speak."
