I’m a big advocate of schools, especially the poorer districts, getting federal money for things like computers and internet hookups. But it looks like wave of scandals over the “E-Rate” program might threaten that.
Unfortunately, the scandals aren’t without reason. One shining example, unfortunately, is the case of my home town, where a little network upgrade turned into the Taj Mahal of networks, which apparently now sits dormant. More examples of waste here and here.
Isn’t it nice to know where your $2.25 a month is going?
