[DM-MUG] Register's piece on laptops in DM Schools.... and others?

[jim Lagnese]

How true. Kids today don't get the education we got 20+ years ago and my
parents education would be considered a bachelor's degree today. I don't
even know where to start. No, computers won't solve anything. All I know is
that I can do up to calculus level math and I can read. I guess I take it
for granted. There is no reason why kids today aren't able to do it.
