Nicaraguan schoolchildren show their laptops at the Miguel Larreynaga school in the town of Tipitapa. The One Laptop per Child organization, in coordination with the Ministry of Education in Nicaragua, distributed laptops to 17,000 children in 150 public schools across the country.

Excuse me for writing in Spanish; but what pride you feel with the progress people make when they are led by leftist governments. Forward…

In my country that experience according to the educators and not the Government, is not going well and the parents also say the same and I see it in my grandchildren that they have lost a lot of values and the most important thing for a child is time. For example; they don’t know how to think for themselves. They don’t even know their multiplication tables. And they get promoted on to high school like sheep. For me this is a disaster. But the world will be theirs. MAYBE MY WAY OF THINKING IS SELFISH BUT I AM TIRED OF TALKING AND FIGHTING. IT IS ALL BIG BUSINESS.
