Educators try to encourage students to become life long learners. The most important teacher a child will have is their parent. Parents who read to a child, send a child to school ready to learn to read. This will also carry through, that parents who use a computer at home for information access will teach their child to use the computer and therefore send the child to school ready to learn more about using the information highway. I think the idea of having high speed access as available as electricity, phone, and water makes sense. How can we encourage private industry to act like the giant utilities providers but for internet access? -Kate Stirk, Media Specialist stirkk@juno.com
