You can check out books from home, you can research on the way to school or from school, but these are really two big assumptions, that one, you have access at home, and two, that you have access to a mobile phone, and in Philadelphia, many kids do not.
Mereka bisa membaca buku dari rumah, meneliti di perjalanan pulang sekolah, tapi ini dengan dua syarat besar, pertama, punya akses internet di rumah dan kedua, punya ponsel, dan banyak anak di Philadelphia tidak memilikinya.
