LETTERS, Page 6"Star Schools"
I commend your excellent report on the growing use of satellite
TV in the nation's classrooms (VIDEO, May 22). Satellite learning
is becoming the most innovative and cost-effective education
improvement of our time. Even remote and deprived schools, with a
satellite dish outside the door, can receive the best teachers and
courses in the region. Unfortunately, legislation I sponsored in
1988 to speed the availability of this technology is underfunded
this year, and the Bush Administration has proposed zeroing it out
next year. If America can spend billions for Star Wars, it can
certainly afford a few million for "Star Schools."
