I am a single mum with two children who work 4 days a week and qualify for nothing. If I sat on my bum all day and took all the benefits going I would be better off. It sucks!

It will also allow children to access projects and their schoolwork at home. Obviously, it is ultimately the parents who will choose whether to benefit from this scheme or not, and it will only be those parents who choose not to benefit, who will be to blame if their child(ren) lose out. Computing is here to stay and the world wide web ought to be taught and learnt well. There are many ways for parents to censor what children can view on-line. If children are properly educated in the correct and proper use of such things as the internet, it is less likely they will abuse that system!

What about parents who do not qualify for the grant because they earn over £15,500 but choose not to buy internet for their children? Do you expect those children to lose out? where is the fairness in that? Whilst some parents cannot afford it, others have the means but choose not to buy it for their children, he said.
