IF they are not using computers at school then they should be politely and respectfully pressuring their parents and their teachers. And I speak as a parent and a teacher. If your child's teacher appears to be computer illiterate then the school has to take action. Every teacher must be interested in giving their charges their very best, and in adding to their own education and their own skills. Schools must also be fired up to ensure that kids get the very best that they can offer, and with the Internet in particular every child now has access to the entire world.
Opportunities are thus limited only by their imaginations.
If a teacher is not computer literate then the school is failing its staff, its students and its parents and they must be reminded of the critical need in this regard. Now, do not think for a minute that you will be interfering if you seek such answers to such questions. In the end, parents are primarily responsible for ensuring that their children are receiving the right education. You can only know this if you close that television and put down that telephone or that paper and talk with them. As a teacher I always tell my students that their parents are not dumb.
