Internet access is a huge problem for poorer people. And to be honest, people who do not own laptops or use them much.
My wife teaches in a disadvantage school, and many of the kids didn’t have a way to do online learning at first.
"Internet access is a huge problem for poorer people. And to be honest, people who do not own laptops or use them much."
The local county school system sent laptops home with the children when they closed schools here.
The school system also deployed buses with mobile wifi spots for families with no internet.
To make sure no child went without food, they deliver free lunch to their homes. That program is running through the summertime too.
After all of that they still have children failing, because the parents (who were being paid extra for unemployment) did not make their children do the required work.
Just maybe the disadvantage children are disadvantage because they have lazy 0ss parents. How much more money do we need to spend on disadvantage families to make the liberals happy?
The families are disadvantage because the parents choose to be disadvantage.
