DailyTech reports the Vail School District in Arizona is now testing WiFi on school buses. Initial findings appear to be positive, the students have allegedly refrained from the rowdy behavior that previously took place and are now quietly working (or Facebooking?) on their laptops on the way to school.
Instead of sitting around chatting or listening to music, students are now quietly working on their laptops on the way to school. The students also have refrained from the rowdy behavior that previously took place on the bus.

"It's made a big difference," said J.J. Johnson, No. 92 school bus driver, to the N.Y. Times. "Boys aren't hitting each other, girls are busy, and there's not so much jumping around."
