Because of this reason schools are hesitant to buy a new, two-thousand dollar computer, and stick to used and old computers that the budget can afford to replace. Because of the budget, many children enrolled in large cities' poor schools won't really have experience in computers, and that is a major setback for the American dream, which I will discuss later. Because of the hands-on method of teaching, computers can keep certain students from being distracted. Lecture classes can, at times, cause some students to daydream, whereas using computer programs would help these students absorb the material presented. Computers are only an enhancement to a subject, however, and cannot replace the actual teacher.
Children are the future of America.
As I said before, children enrolled in poor schools won't have experience with computers. Computers will become a major learning tool in the future. So it is likely that a poor child might not get as good of a job as a student enrolled in electronics, computer programming, and data processing courses. The students exposed to these programs will apply for and get the good-paying jobs. However, that poor child will not get a job and cause him to live in the streets or on welfare living on public money.
