Digital Divide: What It’s Like to Be a Student Without Internet
at Home by Rory Taylor from Teen Vogue.
“While the issue of internet connectivity gets most of the attention,
it is this combination of factors and difficult decisions that Garza
says presents the biggest problem. Whether it's a lack of computers or
even basic physical resources like textbooks, the challenges force
students to jump through hoops in order to complete assignments. "I've
seen a lot of high school students type papers with their thumbs...I
saw a student sitting in front of me on the Metro here in D.C. who had
taken pictures of a textbook page on their phone so they could read it
because they didn't have another way to access [it]," Ishmael said.”
