I think you are right, Jon. And as a taxpayer, even without a child, I rather resent the idea that children would be excluded from an education because of the lack of a computer system. These uneducated children by and large end up on Welfare rolls, where I end up paying for them throughout their life times. That doesn't seem really quite right. I also question why they aren't teaching children the basics. I know in our schools they are big on teaching kids how to use Power Point, but the same kids have trouble writing. How sad is that?
