Cool, cars are unnecessary, let’s go back to horses and buggies.

What resources do they lack that would make it more possible to learn math, history and reading?
I went to high school in the 60s. Resources consisted of desks and books. That seemed to be sufficient.

IIRC aren’t you on record somewhere of saying if it was invented after 1890 or thereabouts, we don’t need it?

Clearly, analogies are necessary because everything one can learn about algebra can be learned from an algebra book. If someone can’t learn it from a book, a computer can’t help them.
Where your analogy might hold up is a course in software programming.

Speaking of horses. People were in a tizzy back in the day wondering where they were going to put all the horses and their excrement in cities. Quite the crisis.
To provide resources they may not have. Whether that be life guidance, teaching a skill that they don’t get taught at school (cybersecurity), helping them with school etc.
A lots of the stuff I help them with are programs at my kids school but not theirs due to lack of funding.
This is false.
Don’t you have young kids? Have you ever had them use a learning app?
My kids learned Spanish from an iPad app way way faster than they would have by reading a book.

For 2022-2023, just 4% of public schools surveyed said that they did not provide digital devices like laptops or tablets to those students who needed them.
Whereas courses were adequately taught before their development, those who want to use their lack as an excuse had better hurry. They are nearly universally provided now.
New Data: Nearly Half of Schools Providing Home Internet Access to Students Who Need It This School Year -- THE Journal.
If your children didn’t get those things at their school, you would provide it.
I assume that your children are a priority in your life. I can also assume , that because of that, no matter where you lived, no matter how much money you make, no matter how much money their school got, they would still be a priority to you.
I believe that children who are raised in this way, have a better chance at success in life than Some rich kid who’s parents aren’t around or don’t give a care for them and only send them to public school in a rich neighborhood.

Yes. The planet wasn’t dying in 1890.

Good example of RW caricature of what liberal/progressives allegedly support.
Appreciate the honesty.

For those that make up such small percentage of population seems to have extremely high count of child exploitation/sexual manipulation.

He did.
And attack the culture generators. Use them.
Ignorant response. Inner city schools in NJ have just as much funding per pupil as suburban schools. Quality students make for good schools, but it’s the quality parents that make the students. I’ll give you an example as someone who has worked in both. Inner city school example: I tell the Spanish students that I’m going to call their parents, they say go ahead no one in my home speaks English. I tell the black students I’m going to call their parents, they say I don’t care. Suburban school example: I tell those students that I’m going to call their parents, they say please don’t!
