Interviews
I conducted eight interviews to try and find out whether the divide between the rich and the poor was being increased through technology. I focussed it around different schools.
The first interview was with Anne Witherow who made me believe that there is a divide building through education. Anne has worked across Melbourne at different schools, public and private, Chelsea Heights, Brighton, South Dandenong, Mentone and Springvale. At these schools she has noticed that the private schools that have more money have a lot more equipment and technology.
I then interviewed seven people aged between 19 and 23, male and female, private and public schooling. From interviewing these people I gathered these answers.
Did you take the school bus to school, get driven or public transport?
Private School - Parents drove them (20 minutes) Drove themselves (15 minutes) School bus (20 minutes) Walked (10 minutes)
Public School - Public Transport or parents drove them (public transport 30 to 40 minutes, parents driving 10 minutes) Public Transport (30 minutes) Walk (5 minutes) Parents drove them (20 minutes)
Did you have accessibility to computers or laptops?
Private School - Yes for both Yes for both Yes for both Yes for both
Public School - Had computers Had computers Had computers Had computers
Were you able to take laptops home with you?
Private School - Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Public School - No No No
Did you rely on the school laptops and computers to get work done?
Private School - Yes because I always had it with me Yes Yes it was easier Yes it helped Public School - When we got to use them it was helpful but we didn’t get to use them a lot No because we just played games on them No because we didn’t use them a lot
Did you use other forms of technology at school?
