yeh bollox I think they make the same mistake in schools already. The government has policies for how many computers per school child there must be and from what I've heard from friends that are teachers is that the situation now in many schools is that there are big fancy computer room pack with kit............
.......and shite libraries with hardly and books let alone new ones.
EDUCATION is what is needed and this can be achieved with books and pencil and paper. If you don't have a good basic education what use is being able to fart around a bit on a computer.
laptops to the poor....I mean for F..kkjdhdh sake!
You can see it in our society already....kids are getting worse at spelling, grammer, arithmetic, maths, languages etc etc and better at farting about on PCs. More people go to uni now that in the past BUT they choose new dosser subjects and are given good grades which mean nothing just so uni depts can get more funding due to increased numbers of students.
Good for companies who want little robots sat in front of computers doing shitty jobs but not much good for anything else.
To be honest I'm starting to think the Labour gov. is actually trying to keep the UK population as uneducated as possible....I guess this would suit them fine come to think of it!!
Shall we make sure the poor have better food, shelter, medicine, education (books, schools, teachers)??????..........NAHHHHH lets give em laptops!
bloody crap!
