There is a new class system in schools.

Here is the scenario at Henry Cort, possibly other schools, I don't know.

The maths class are told to do their maths homework online, and it has to be done that night. This is not a problem if they live in a home with a computer and the internet.

If they don't have a computer and the Internet, they are told that they must do it during their break, or stay behind after school for an hour after school that day.

During their break? Does this mean that because a family does not have the money for a computer/the internet, they do not get to refresh the brain cells? And yes, they could stay behind after school that day, but parents arrange picking up their children and, if it had been detention, the rules state that 24 hours notice is required for just this reason.

In my mind, this is creating a new class system within our schools, but what does evberybody else think?
