Focusing on the curriculum for high schools, the students must have four years of English. Also, they have to complete three years of math, social studies, and science. The last required classes for high school are half semester of computer and two classes of an advanced elective such as foreign language. That is a tremendous increase of classes that a student has to take. The main class that is going to be increased is the computer class, it is going from a half credit to a full credit because of the information age.
Students have to know how to use the computer in and out of the classroom.
I feel that the curriculum of the JPS is going to increase the intelligence of the inner city kids of Jackson because the use of the computer is going to make it easier for teachers to make sure the students are interested. The facilities of the Jackson schools are very poor. Most of the schools have very little use of the computer. The school district is funding the schools with some more technology. This will improve all aspects of education and the athletics that exists in the schools today.
