If you think about it, this is amazing. A burger chain has the ability to influence the future of a whole generation. But it might require a bit of philanthropy on their part.Flexible learning often requires access to computers and the internet, things that some students find beyond their reach. McDonalds new wifi hotspots established at many stores across the country provide half the solution. McDonalds believes they will allow customers to check emails surf the web or download video but there are also bigger burgers to fry. I challenge McDonalds to provide laptops to disadvantaged students so they can complete their studies over a dish from the deli choices menu, low fat, social justice, and, great marketing! Yes that's right McDonalds could become the missing link in providing better access for voacational education students. Now that would make a difference!McWireless
