I was impressed by everything about (MS)2.  From the overall concept to their care in incorporating and educating parents to their insistence on career development in order to ensure that the teachers understand the technology and can use it successfully in class.  Socio-economic status shouldn't determine our access to technology, but unfortunately it does.  Lack of access to technology and the knowledge that goes along with it is a major obstacle.  I love the idea that a school like this provides this kind of knowledge and equipment to inner-city kids.  They are absolutely correct that this gives the students a leg up in the world, and from the looks of things, the digital content makes the subject matter more interesting for the students, thus making it easier to teach and learn.

My only concern is that it's a charter school, though that has nothing to do with the school's mission or success.  Charter schools aren't necessarily bad, I just share the concern of public school advocates that if we abandon our public schools instead of fixing them (so that they might be able to provide this kind of tech skill), we und up ceding the entire idea of public education to private institutions, ultimately moving us further away from the equal access that this particular school helps provide.  Unfortunately, so long as inner city schools remain as underfunded as they tend to be, people are going to seek out alternatives, and I don't blame them.

Despite being underfunded, the district where my kids attend school partnered with Apple to provide iPads for a one-to-one technology program.  It was pretty progressive when they implemented that here maybe five or six years ago, though I'd assume that after the pandemic, this will become much more common.  Even before the necessity of remote learning, computer and internet technology had become the environment we live in, so these kinds of programs were going to become the norm eventually anyway.  We were fortunate to be ahead of the game in my neighborhood.
