This one angers me because all sorts of political parties make claims about access to Internet for children from low-income families in schools, libraries and community centres when these kids really need a free Internet connection and mid-range laptop in the home so they can have some sort of life like an awful lot of better off kids.If the idea is to extend what middle-class kids have more or less to those children from families of low-income ,money just has to be directly given to those families.if

I find it quite interesting really that disabled people and low-income people pretty much get treated in the same way: substandard. Why in this country we have a problem with maximising the health, happiness , intellectual and social development of all of us Brits are not just most, I do not know.What heights of well-being and mental satisfaction are we better off people missing out on because the problem of poverty just does not get addressed by any political party for the majority of better off citizens.

Poorest pupils lack home internet

More than a third of the poorest children do not have the internet at home and a similar number do not have a computer, official figures suggest.
