Lets get real.
Schools across the US are suffering severe cutbacks.
Teachers salaries are being cut.
Programs, needed programs, are being cut. In my district, they are actually talking about cutting out completely music, art and after school sports.
Basic supplies (pencils, crayons, glue, paper, any schoolroom based supply) come out of teachers wallets when what the school supplys run out.
The very last thing our schools need right now, are Kindles or e-book readers.
"Disadvantaged youth" can learn to read just as well from a paper book as an e-book reader.
You would see me screaming from the school rooftop if my district tried to do this.
Seriously.
