Any time I’ve seen ghetto high school students with access to internet-capable computers, the LAST thing on their agenda was doing any work vaguely connected to academia. Number one activity was perusing high-dollar sneakers. That was the vast majority of them. Number two activity was watching sports games, mainly NBA. Number three activity was listening to crap music videos. and downloading stolen iTunes to their own iPods. Yeah, I can really see wasting $4B on “improving the computer skills of students”.

That sounds about right.
