current connection 1.2

Schools today are getting boring and students are not learning as much because of this problem.  According to the New York Times article entitled, "Turning Education Upside Down,"  this problem is being took care of.  They call it a "flipped school."

Clintondale school has developed a method where students get the classroom lecture at home.  This is possible by teachers recording their lecture and putting it online for students to view on their smartphones.  During school hours, teachers and students can do more hands-on projects in the classrooms.  This makes learning more fun.

Universities have already began this spectacular event.  This is booming online with better graduates and less drop-outs. This makes going to college much more affordable.  Students how do not have scholarships to go to college have hard times getting the degree's they need to begin their careers.  This new way "flipped school" is more affordable because the cost of an internet connection beats the cost of a semester of college.

As far as Clintondale, no other schools have taken to this flipped school.  The principle of Clintondale came up with the new "flipped school' when he recorded baseball hints and posted them on YouTube for the team.

I think all schools should take this and put it to work.  Learning would be much more fun.  I would learn more and be excited to go to school.
