It also depends WHAT the resources are that they get. If they get a shiny computer lab, that's lovely and all, but if the lab is staffed by a teacher who's completely incapable of teaching computer usage from the very beginning, those "resources" don't do anything for the have-nots that are so supposedly lucky to get them.
