I grew up in the 80's. No internet. I went to the public library.
They still have libraries, right? With free internet, now? Yes... yes, I believe they do.

MACS, not I very carefully did not say they couldn't learn or look things up. I said they couldn't compete in the classroom. ie, the other students would have easier access to information when looking up homework than said student. Could they do it? Sure. They could go to the library or starbucks or whatever and do their homework (how are they getting to said location, walking? bus? is there even a starbucks in the ghetto?)... but that is making their life harder than the students they are competing with.
Again... I don't care. There has to be a strong base of poor people to keep me on top, so I'm cool with it. But it reduces class mobility (which many people have said is already very bad in this country). So, the poor will stay poor. The wealthy will stay wealthy. I mean, someone has to be the poor.... it may as well be people who already started out that way.[sarcasm]
In da ghetto..?? 😕

It was about a 5 mile bike ride. I made it frequently. Got hooked on reading books when I was 10 or so, so I was always there to check out books I wanted to read.
Was it uphill both ways? In the snow?
So once the government pays for internet do they buy the computer also?
