I have cousins in Uruguay, ones being from better neighborhoods (Carrasco) and others being from the poorest department in Uruguay, specifically Artigas. After speaking with both, I've come to the conclusion that the one-laptop-per-child isn't necessarily a great idea. I've heard of teachers in rural parts of the country not having been trained to make these laptops part of their curriculum.

What would I change? Well, for starters, I would put a computer room in each of the schools (secured of course) and hire an actual professor to teach classes specifically about computers. Keep the lab open after school so children have access to the lab. Once a child reaches a certain age (let's say 12 years), then they could receive a laptop having already established a foundation of computer skills through the lab.

Just my 2 cents.
