Cart before the horse

Dear Editor,

Excellent! Who could disagree with the initiative that every schoolchild should have a laptop computer? May I suggest however, that these laptops be strong enough for children to take them to school and use them for seats and desks, since there seems to be a severe shortage of the most essential tools in schools. Parents bring your desk and bench! We will give your child a computer!

When will those teachers be paid, who worked during the summer vacation doing remedial work with our less-than-literate children?
I hope the “free” computers would be loaded with appropriate software for remedial work, since next summer only computers would be doing the teaching.
Talk about the cart before the horse.

Yours faithfully,
