From STEPHANIE TROTTER
I was interested to read ‘Low marks for electronic tutors’ by Mike
Holderness (26 September). The last sentence reads ‘But much more needs
to be done to benefit students who may not love computers for their own
sake’. Received wisdom indicates that girls are in this category. If it
is true that girls are not smitten with computers, they are certainly not
going to be encouraged by this article. Why not? Because it shows two photographs
containing a total of seven boys obviously fascinated by their computer,
and not one girl.
