Kellogg Elementry

On Wednesday, Oct. 29th, I visited Kellogg Elementary in Huntington, WV. This "21st Century" model school was absolutely mind blowing. Of course, I have seen the things that they use in their school before, but damn, I wasn't using these things in Kindergarten! I've just started using them for the first time, some of them not at all, and I am a sophomore in COLLEGE! Technology has come so far and the way that they have set this school up around technology will create SUPER STUDENTS. I mean, seriously, if my fellow classmates and I had this kind of technology when we were first beginning our education, we would have been a bunch of GUINNESS'S!
I do think that there is a downfall to the "model school" though. If the schools that these students are going to be attending are not dissected very soon to compete with the elementary school, then the students are going to be severely deprived and well... what will become of their education then?
