But unfortunately, our professor got the dates mixed up and the presentation was during the week I was gone! It's interesting to hear your point of view and I'm sure many have the same questions as you do! I hope I can find the time to research more about this program!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827711280246975662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702537787639079434.post-91238824684709341312011-10-26T16:59:03.314-07:002011-10-26T16:59:03.314-07:00Thanks Ms. Davis!

I also didn't want people to think I'm this awful person who doesn't care about children around the world that live in impoverished countries. So thank you for seeing the positive in what I was saying! I'm really thinking about getting into Ed Reform so I can make a difference and change things in our educational system for the better!scrawford518https://www.blogger.com/profile/16525396846595909874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702537787639079434.post-72387347334283322422011-10-26T10:28:21.383-07:002011-10-26T10:28:21.383-07:00Sherilyn

I think that by being in the US, our country at least has a government that allows children to go to school while in other countries students don't have the right. OLPC is focused on outreach but I know that we need more support for our own country as well. There are very similar debates about "community service" components in colleges as they all go out of the country, but there are people here in the US that need the same support and help. If anything don't worry about what OLPC does, but take that passion and find what problems you see here in the US and challenge to create your own solution for yourself. Maybe you can help create a program like OLPC for America. If you want to start something up, you already have one supporter... me! <br /><br />Great post!Ms. Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022504994389044577noreply@blogger.com
