When Congress starts to debate education funding in coming weeks and months, keep the following headlines in mind. All of them refer to federal dollars that flowed from the $100 billion education stimulus.
At Avondale Elementary, 90 new iPads help students ?app'ly themselves
Florida Schools giving away $350,000 worth of ipods?using stimulus money
Detroit Public Schools: 40,000 kids to get laptops from stimulus funds
Senators criticize using stimulus money on iPods
Rather than get snarky, let me admit: These purchases probably did stimulate the economy.
