    The cruelest part of the digital divide." @AP counts millions of students stuck in the "homework gap" struggling to complete schoolwork because they lack internet at home.http://apne.ws/ednH8V2

        Why would online homework be on the curriculum if some students don't have internet at home?

        Why is homework on the curriculum at all if parents aren't there for some to help? Either way, school work is there to prepare students. Being online is part of every day life and work now. We have to find a way to bridge the gap.

        So true! Service in rural areas is especially slow, and spotty.

        Answer: get rid of homework. Prioritize the family and stop making learning artificial.

        I didn’t have a set of encyclopedias when I was in school, but they were free to use at the public library.🙄

        My family had (has) them --- we had to wash our hands before using them. I understand that rule now. Children are sticky and gross.

        No the cruelest gap is their parents getting overwhelmed with rising costs of living leaving them without discretionary funds, even though no body "owes" them.

        Modern infrastructure is more than roads, it’s electricity and internet. Governments need to invest in citizens
