LAN's and routers and network managers are a red herring in
this argument. How about considering a terminal/PC or two
in every school library with a modem and access to the
nearest host on a toll-free basis. Is this still laughable
in comparison to basketball and music and drug-awareness
programs and class size problems? Where do library books
fit in on the urban reality scale? The point is that while
networks are not going to solve all of K-12 education's
problems, we can't bury our heads in the sand and only work
on one problem at a time, watching the rest of the
landscape slide away.
