Letter To The Editor

Student Daniel Jackson weighs in on Meramec’s computer lab.

Dear Chancellor Pittman:

I am writing about the nonexistence of the computer laboratory. Today, the school’s computer laboratory is seven (7) monitors sitting in the hall of the second floor of the Business Administration Building. This situation at some point during the school year is like cows at a feeding trough. I as a student am sitting so close around the bank of monitors, I cannot hear myself think for the noise.

Here is my problem, I am learning Windows 10 software application on a Windows 8 program format. This is like trying to put a round peg into a square hole. It does not fit and does not work. The only place I have available to do my Windows 10 assignment is in the school library because the library installed Windows 10 this summer. Sometimes during the daytime hours the school library sounds like a zoo with the noise level.

Educational Assistant II Doris Wright has been a tremendous help in my understanding of Windows 10, she is only one person and has to go home at the end of her work day. I need this skill for the twenty-first century, because Windows 11 program has already been developed.

Thank you,

Daniel Jackson
