Home computers are causing lower reading and maths results!

The Australian Federal Government and governments around the world have sought to close the technology gap by providing computers for all children and by providing high speed internet services. However, according to a new study of 150 000 individual students, by scholars at Duke University’s Sandford School of Public Policy,  “... having home computers widens the achievement gap in reading and maths results.” Students in years 5 to 8 tend to post lower results once these technologies arrive in their home.  Why?
