A recent study of Detroit students, K-12, showed that 90% of them do not have access to internet connected devices.
An organization called Connected Futures will provide all 51,000 students with connected devices, household internet and technical support by June. Those students and their family members will have internet access and much better learning opportunities.
I spent three years in a Detroit high school in the years 2010-2012. At that time, none of the students had textbooks of their own. They had to pull their desks together and use one textbook for two students. Those books remained in the classroom.
In addition to all the struggles of living in Detroit, the kids were getting an inferior education when compared to their suburban peer group.
It appears that a small part of the unfairness of their lives is being corrected!
