One Laptop Per Child pledge

[Jerry Feldman]

A number of years ago, the issue of requiring each student have a laptop at 
a private school came up. While this is quite different from public schools 
in the US and in third world countries, some of the arguments are still 
very valid. 
Back at that time, some of the teachers objected because they could not 
afford to buy decent computers. While, in this country, I would assume that 
most teachers can afford at least a relatively up-to-date desktop, this may 
be an issue in third world countries, and it is important that the teachers 
have systems for themselves.
