Where the Obama Stimulus Plan Helps Tech [View article]
Education is more complicated than that. Rural schools are OK; suburban schools are among the best in the world; inner city schools are a disaster. Problems range from the destruction of neighborhood schools; the disengagement of parents; the need to educate waves of non-English speakers; and the inability to properly manage the teaching and administrative staffs. Money and technology will help in some circumstances - particularly where the negative factors are least present and the resources have been inadequate. There would be a disproportionate benefit in rural areas, but you can bet that most will go to the cities.
