Reserach actually shows otherwise
For those who would like to look at some research: www.res.org.uk/econometrics/fuchs-woessmann.doc
In their research they found that the key to IT or computers generally contributing to educational outcomes (i.e. attainment) is proportional to the time that parents/teachers spend with them in front of the computer. Otherwise, the computer/internet becomes a distraction rather than a learning tool. As for "real-time" feedback on children: if the parent takes any kind of interest, this is not a problem that needs to be dealt with. If the parents aren't interested, no amount of free internet access will make them interested.
Typical poppycock based on no research (or ignoring disliked research).
