Free wifi installed for every house hold who has a child between 3-18 years old
Install free wifi for every household that has a 3-18 year old living there. Right now we are in hard times and non key workers like myself are having to teach their children with limited resources due to lack of or limited internet access.
This i feel is setting up children between 3-18 to fail as well as the parents who just want the best for their kids but have a low or difficult income. There are a lot of people out there especially children who are going to be well behind on schooling because of lack of or limited access to the internet. I believe it would help the children academically if free wifi was installed within good reason (ie. Low income) and would also help parents feel less useless at this time of panademic.
