Pinecrest Elementary - "E"

When I went to Pinecrest Elementary in Immokalee, the first thing I noticed was the lack of technology. There were no computers in most classrooms and if there was, it was a lone computer. In the class I was observing, the teacher had her laptop from home and told me that it’s usually hard for her to even get a television during their ‘free time’. I was surprised that the school didn’t do more involving technology, but I realized that the school was in the lower socioeconomic area. Unfortunately, Pinecrest Elementary is an ‘F’ school, so I don’t think under the No Child Left Behind act that they get as much funding from the government. I hope things will change at the school, because I know it’s important to gain a variety of skills through regular instruction and computer assisted instruction.
