Are schools up to date?

I think that this is a great idea. Bill Gates wants to upgrade how we are teaching our kids of today. I mean look at the drop out rates. If you look them up on the internet they are alot larger than in past years. We have kids dropping out because of drugs and various other things such as unwanted pregnacies. It will cost alot of money to upgrade all the schools but it will do alot of good. Some schools dont even have computer programs taught and that is not going to help these kids going out into the world today. Computers are used everywhere for virtually everything. This big expense would be very very well worth it. If we can spend tons of money on stupid things like movies and upgrading horse racing facilities we can for sure make schools teaching more up to date with todays society. Our kids are coming out not knowing alot about technology when in fact its all around them.
