    My concept is that could be very abnormal, and mostly has nothing to do with it being a Catholic tuition, however extra to do with the private views of the administrators. My children are 4 and 6 and go to a preK-eight Catholic institution that is very technologically advanced. They both use computer systems a couple instances per week now, and as they get older, they're going to have full access to the science middle on campus. Currently they use studying websites and are being taught normal computing abilities. I feel they *might* gain knowledge of these things at house, however still, i'm feeling like they would be at a drawback. Nevertheless, if the religion-established education is fundamental to you, i wouldn't "no longer" send my kids there only for the sake of the shortage of computers. I do not feel it's an absolute necessity if your children are still younger, and who is aware of, possibly the tuition will start migrating in the technology course within the following few years, or if administration alterations.

    Yes, we, humans, are becoming more and more dependent on computers and related technology. I expect that almost all jobs will require the knowledge of how to operate and/or program computers.

    Yes, because getting a job will depend on it. I have to do all of my mother's applications because she can't work a computer.

    No. However, calculators should be prohibited until the sixth grade.

    Math is a dying art.
