>I went to Hudson County, New Jersey, which has a lot of
>first-generation immigrants, in a school that had so many problems it
>was almost closed by the state. And then the principal of this high
>school not only started making sure all the immigrant kids whose first
>language was not English were trained on the computer, they started
>putting computers in the parents' home and showing them how to do it --
>so that all these low-income working people could e-mail their parents,
>teachers, and their principals every day. The dropout rate went way
>down and the performance of these kids in a low-income neighborhood,
>most of them immigrant kids, rose above the state average of New Jersey.

>We can do this if we close the digital divide. (Applause.)
