ACCESS


With the review of the ACCESS i found it to be a great advantage for high schools students living in rural, low income areas that school systems are unable to provide them with adaquete course work. The ACCESS website http://accessdl.state.al.us is a great way for students to enroll in Advanced Placment courses (AP) that are not available at there high school. As I was reading I was informed that there is a problem in Alabama because some high schools don't even offer Advanced diplomas.

Also another striking fact is that Alabama is ranked 14 out of 16 with this problem. So the ACCESS website gives students an opportuntity to have the same benefits as other students. The website was designed to give equal access to high quality instruction to all students.


Also the students are given the opportunity to have video conferencing with instructors to recieve a highly qualified educators. Students are provide with higher level math courses that are not provide at their high school due to the low income areas in Alabama.

Overall I feel this is a great website for providing equal instruction to all students all over the State of Alabama. I also hope and pray that in the coming future education improves in Alabama, because there are children out there who want to learn but low income areas are stuck with whatever kind of education they can get. I feel this practice is really unfair, and hopefully I can do may part to change things.
