Purvis has an excellent system towards homework. As a fellow student I learned what needed to be learned and completed my school work on time. However most students from low income familes specifically do not have great access to internet which becomes stressful also not to mention we have lack of technology. Therefore in my opinion it would be great if the school had enough computers to suply the students temporarily until the end of the year to help them with assignments. For most of those students are taking advanced placement English and so on. For instance I am one such student who comes from a low income family trying to break the cycle and go to college. However the intense typing I do on my phone and the constant switching through apps to find my answers is stressful. I feel with a computer it'd be more efficient and it would be more accurate. Yet I do not have any other form of technology at home and I only have access to mobile internet on this very device which is limited and then runs out with in 2 weeks. So in my personal opinion the education and homework system is exceleent and well thought out however I think it'd be best if we were supplied with assigned computers temporarily in order to do work. Also yes if that were so we should definitely be held responsible for the computers.

I think Purvis High is an extremely good school, very nice administration & students, most of the students graduate with 3.0 or higher grade point averages.
