Many countries are doing it, but will they do it for every year or just as a one off vote winner. THE olpc programe has been around for a few years. But money and it seems politics

What will they use them for accesing the internet if so who will pay?

Great Idea but as shown many teachers dont seem to use them in Lessons

Many schools in the UK have plenty of Computers and Children have access often at home etc. Children still need to read books and write with a Pen. Also interact with human beings which plenty of people i see in the world of work could have done with at key stages of there life it seems

I know the schools we are partnered with in areas with high levels of families living at the poverty line they loan out laptops with MS software. Sadly the biggest problem is family members borrowing the pupils laptop im told somtimes for good

Good intentions im sure hopefully it will inspire and help many
