Getting America's Students Ready for the 21st Century
I found this article to be ridiculously long and irrelevant. This is like reading an article on computer programing from the 1970's. Most of the statistics have changed, as well as the nature of the tech divide. It is common sense that poor students will be at a disadvantage. It is also a reality that schools have to make up for whatever students lack, and address their unique needs. The reality today is that the more economically disadvantaged a community might be the more technology that you will find in that communities schools. What we really need to be looking at is the current needs of all students, and make plans to assist them in any way possible.
