do public schools really need a broadband connection?

the scam ( and sham) of the ZTE broadband deal is all over the news and it's been going on for quite sometime now. i don't really understand the whole scam part of the issue and frankly, i don't really care anymore.but what i know is that dep ed wanted broadband connection for every public school in the philippines.

come on...are you guys fucking insane?!a broadband connection?really?

let's take a rain check: public schools in the philippines are either outdated, dilapidated, crampped, small and not to mention, there are public schools that doesn't even have electricity yet.

and now they want broadband connection??

it doesn't matter if there are like 100 students inside a small classroom, they don't care even if the students do not own textbooks, they don't give a damn if there are no teachers to teach the students how to use their fudging broadband connection in the first place.all they care is that evey public school student can have the access to the internet.

yeah.how smart.

but i'm not saying that the kids don't deserve the luxury of an internet connection.they do, every one does.but they also deserve to have decent classrooms, new and quality textbooks, competent teachers and quality education all in all.i just think that before they think of something totally first-world,they should look closer and see what the students really need.

books before broadband!
