Mass Gov. pushes $100 laptops for kids.

Gov. Mitt Romney recently proposed in his overall education package offering newly developed and low-priced laptops and Internet access for every public middle and high school student in the state.

The $100 laptops, developed by the Massachusetts institute of Technology Media Lab, would begin with sixth graders and be phased in over three years. The state's teacher association president said the initiative's $54 million would be better spent on smaller class sizes and better textbooks.
