Poem: What’s the Railroad to Me?  by Henry D. Thoreau 

Statement of the Whole: Even as internet technologies provide more and more “educational” opportunities, schools are seeking to remain relevant to the educational process.  Are there things only a brick and mortar school can do?  Why have all the trouble and expense of schools if we can simply Google our way to an education?  Join in the conversation with Jason and Steve.
