- chroem- 9y agoThe wealthiest members of our society are on one hand sending their children to expensive private schools, specifically to avoid exposing them to computers in the classroom, while on the other hand lobbying for increased usage of computing in public education to support their businesses. This is a completely valid concern, and you are dismissing it without reason.
- fern12 9y agoAgreed. I don't have kids, but speaking for myself, the internet has shot my attention span to the single digit range. And I grew up in the 80s.
- benchaney 9y agoThis is a completely insane assertion. Private schools have computers in the classroom more frequently to private schools. I challenge you to find any evidence of anyone choosing a private schools because there aren't computers in the classroom.
