Many school districts are facing shrinking student enrollments due the spread of the "Mortgage Crisis." As people lose lose their homes in high-cost, high-tax areas like California they move to lower-cost regions of the United States. Click:

With the declines in student populations school district administrators are forced to fire teachers and consolidate classrooms so that the remaining teachers have more students to instruct in each of their classes.
Schools now have "desktop" computers in rooms designated as "computer labs" where the students have strictly limited access to the Internet for researching approved topics. (These computers have protective "filter programs" installed.
There are hundreds of "Educational Software" programs available for grades 1 through 12 that have already been approved for use in "Home Schooling" and other state acreditted programs.
Their are also hundreds of Educational DVD's available on English Grammer, History, Math and Science at low prices without subscription fees.
The one thing missing is a computer for every student. There are now "Notebook" laptops available with "Microsoft Windows" software installed for under $500. The first problem in implementation of a Computer Aided Education Program is supplying the laptops. Pehaps companies in the various school district's regions would be willing to sponsor the purchase of the laptops for the advertising value of having their company featured in local news stories during the school year.
With less attention from teachers Motivating Students becomes more important
The second problem is motivating the students to complete the courses. We are working on a rewards system that will super-motivate students to complete Computer Aided Education courses.
Community groups provide educational opportunities that that school districts cannot offer, Click:
