High Tech Heretic-Loony for Laptops

“Our educational revolutionaries pay lip service to the need to read, but wish to channel students into a substitute for reading.”
This statement made a lightbulb go off in my head. NCLB is focused on reading and math, but instead of funding this properly, we have two computer labs and multiple computers in our school. I know the school I work in is not the only one. How much time and energy has gone into technology at schools that have not gone into reading and math? I am not saying that technology has not helped or is not needed, but how much funding could have been sent other ways. I know as a member of site base that money for the computer labs did not come through us. I, also, know that we did not have enough money to fully buy textbooks for next year. Where is the line? The saying put your money where your mouth is does not seem true for NCLB.
