“Law, software fuel new ‘digital divide" article by Alec MacGillis, reminded me of a recent movie I saw, “Don’t Wait for a Superman”. It addressed the problems of the achievement gaps in public school systems in inner cities. As an educator, I would like to propose some questions.
1. Can a ‘digital divide’ fit all?
2. Can the test-preparation software close the different achievement gaps?
3. Should “No Child Left Behind” become a barrier to motivate talented students to move forward?
This article describes that inner city schools have been influenced by the business world and being amid a technology society. They should invest in good teachers and students
No matter how advanced the technological skills are developed, they won’t replace a teacher who nurtures individual students’ needs. This personal attention will sustain their lifelong learning.
