Are we in danger of further disenfranchising certain sectors because of a governmental delay in delivering the resources to schools? I am loath to use the term extracurricular activity because they are not hobbies. They should be provided in school. While there is a delay in the delivery of those resources, if the only option for children to engage in the likes of computer programming is through a club that operates outside of a school, are we not further disadvantaging a certain group of people who are already disadvantaged because they do not have access in an educational environment? They may not come from a socioeconomic background-----
