| In his fifth-grade classroom, Alex Schaefer made a virtual pizza this week - part pepperoni, part bacon, part mushroom. At Scranton's Robert Morris Elementary and dozens of schools in the area, students learn about equivalent fractions and other math skills on interactive, computerized whiteboards. The program used to purchase the whiteboard on which Alex built his pizza was one of the biggest losses of the state education budget passed last week.
