Editor’s Note
Why such an affluent country as the United States cannot ensure that every child have internet access astounds me. I’m not sure how anyone thinks that paper is equitable for all of these kids and less access to teachers is OK. This is just my opinion and I know everyone is doing the best they can but the differences and digital divide becomes apparent in times like these and we should wake up and work to get better around the world.
