i wish grandma never died

The game thing had a small screen, smaller than arcade screens and hardly andy colors, just a bunch of words. I guess he really got into these things at school, Mom says it was the only class hever got an "A" in was the one that had these computer things. I never knew he could type, but I saw him spell words that night on the letter board faster than I could ever write them. I guess that is what he was doing when he stayed after school. Mom was never too sure. But, now that he has his own, thanks to our dead grandma, he doesn't stay late at school any more. Actually, I'm pretty sure he's been skipping some school too, but Mom doesn't talk about it. I guess he's almost graduated anyway so it doesn't really matter.

"The problem with America's public schools [...] have almost nothing to do with technology. Consequently, no amount of technology will lead to the educational revolution prophesied by President Clinton and others. The art fo teaching cannot be replicated by computers, the Net, or by "distance learning." These tools can, of course, augment an already high-quality educational experience. But, to rely on them as any sort of panacea would be a costly mistake." ****
