These schools have too much money
- cthalupa 11y agoThese programs are often funded by federal aid based on the number of students on free or reduced lunch. The money, IIRC, can really only be used for library stuff or technology, and it's a sort of 'use it or lose it' deal.
- tormeh 11y agoYes, but since students usually do better without computers it's better to use it on the library or simply not take the money.
- joshstrange 11y agoWant to provide some kind of source for that claim?
- tormeh 11y agoYes: http://www.keepeek.com/Digital-Asset-Management/oecd/education/students-computers-and-learning_9789264239555-en#page5 http://www.keepeek.com/Digital-Asset-Management/oecd/educati... (it's an OECD study. I don't really know their pedigree as a source of evidence)
