As tech grows more common in classrooms, student 'geek squads' are popping up at schools across the country.

In this April 16, 2019, photo, eighth grade student technicians Mirakle Singleton, left, and Naureen Unaysa, right, instruct teacher Kaila Burgio in the use of a computer program at Buffalo Public School No. 37, in Buffalo, N.Y. The district and others around the country are training students to help with software and hardware issues that arise as teachers and students do more of their daily schoolwork on school-issued laptops and iPads.

It’s a strategy playing out around the country as schools increasingly supply devices to every student. Despite concerns from some about excessive screen time, fees sometimes passed along to students, and the challenge for teachers to incorporate the technology into meaningful lessons, the consortium predicted 38% of students would have not one, but two devices within three years and that 18 percent would have three devices in that time.

Already, the district is recruiting high school students through a city-sponsored program to become paid technology interns over summer break. Last year, 22 students spent six weeks in July and August cleaning, cataloguing and resetting devices, earning $10.40 an hour.

As they swallow more global bologna brought to you by the power hungry corrupt corporate establishment.

Soon The geek squad will start speaking a lingo that teachers can't understand unless they too start playing video games, watch Hollywood scifies and descended into the class with sound effects and dressed like geek squad and their future ilk...Gene-next is Super strange XXX

This is a great demonstration of learning. And building of confidence. These kids have been on devices since they were born almost. Pretending otherwise deprives them.

'geek' is an offensive, derogatory word. its like the n-word. please don't use the g-word. update your guidelines . thank you.

They’re inspired by the Best Buy Geek Squad. That’s a good thing, really.

This is bad. Bernie and AOC have a plan to guarantee IT workers jobs! Tell those kids to stop stealing the jobs of comrades!

Some of us were doing that 25 years ago

One student dead in shooting at suburban Denver school, police say; seven other students injuredMultiple injuries are reported at a suburban Denver school as police responded to reports of gunshots, according to law enforcement authorities. I have a strong guess what the gop and nra will blame, it is something that is legal in Colorado but it is not a gun. Mental health is the problem and there’s no place for these people to be checked out because Obama close them down Damn. More traumatized children and families.
