This is a positive initiative. "A business task force looking at education issues wants to provide all Des Moines-area students - in public and private schools - with their own laptop computer over the next two years." But educators say - quite reasonably - that the program cannot cost any teachers their jobs. "We're so desperately underfunded, we're cutting the basics of education. "To divert any money when we're laying off teachers would be awful... It would be the wrong trade-off." Well, maybe, but the cause of the layoffs isn't the computers, it's the cutbacks. It's a dilemma being repeated in jurisdictions around the world.
