Why is it that some schools have technology more readily available than others?  My school currently has one computer lab for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.  One computer lab!  The school I recently moved from had 3 computer labs and it was an elementary school with substantially less students.  Yes, it was a rhetorical question.  The answer is that all schools do not get equal allocations of funds. 

The school I moved to is an inner-city school with a more diverse enrollment of students.  According to “No Child Left Behind”, our school is failing.  Therefore, our school does not get the same type of funding as a “passing” school.  Yeah, that makes sense!  Give the money and funding to the schools who are already succeeding while the failing schools get no additional support.  Now I’m not saying we should get more funding than the passing schools.  It should be an equal distribution of the money.  Our school could use more technology in order to motivate, engage and prepare students for the future.  As long as money and funding is not equally distributed to all schools (not based on social-economic areas) those inner-city schools will continue to suffer.
