WiFi access on a school bus in arizona pretty much eliminates behavioral issues with high schoolers...


A recent article in the New York Times titled 'Wi-Fi turns rowdy bus into rolling study hall' shows new moments of study that would otherwise be chaos. Here's a quote from it:

"Students endure hundreds of hours on yellow buses each year getting to and from school in this desert exurb of Tucson, and stir-crazy teenagers break the monotony by teasing, texting, flirting, shouting, climbing (over seats) and sometimes punching (seats or seatmates). But on this chilly morning, as bus No. 92 rolls down a mountain highway just before dawn, high school students are quiet, typing on laptops."
