Schools are getting hardware before we can completely provide the staff training for that hardware to be used effectively. If we had to look at where our greatest challenge is, it would be that. Diverse levels of technological competency in our system will always be a problem because you will always have different competencies in teachers and resources throughout a large system like ours. You will always find pockets where some people can do it and others can't. We are committed to look at where we have valleys, to understand it is not always giving one dollar to every child, but to create a level of quality that is systemically equal.
All people deserve equal things.
The target date is now. Our focus is now because now is the real world, and the real world, as you cross the country, is highly technologically sophisticated, even at the elementary-school level. The New York City Board of Education owns a television station, WNYE, that could provide curricula and resources to parents who are homeschooling and continue the education of the dozens of students who are in hospitals throughout the city. We have the technology. Now we have to get it implemented.
