Abstract
In its current incarnation, the Information Superhighway is hard to use and expensive to bring into classrooms. It contains materials which no teacher or parent in his or her right mind wants children to read-a condition which is pretty much fine with the current propeller-heads, researchers, and business folk who use the Internet and are not overjoyed at the prospect of children traipsing over what had been their private cyberspace.
Yet over the past two years, several public school districts around Minnesota, Mankato among them, have invested a great deal of scarce human and financial resources in computer networks and Internet access. As both an educator and parent of a third-grader, I offer three reasons why it is imperative to overcome the obstacles and give our children Internet access-now.
