can my colleagues imagine Florida saying, courses that one has to take, they are going to put them on the Internet? Even though they are wired, they are not hooked up. My colleagues can go to schools in my district, and half of the schools we do not have computers in the classrooms. My colleagues go to another side of the track, there is computers in all of the classrooms. There are refrigerators and air conditioners. No matter where a kid attends school in this great country, we should have ``A'' schools all over. We do not destroy our system by doing away with the schools. We work to bring all of the standards up.
