So the comment you're replying to wasn't taking some giant leap in logic.
Where are you going to draw the line on what kids should be allowed to use on homework? A slide rule for math? A four function calculator? Matlab? How about research papers? Is Wikipedia allowed or should their family be required to have a printed encyclopedia?
You said earlier that you had to go to the library or the computer lab when you were a kid. You know what they're going to do at the library? Sit in front of a computer and pull up Google. How is that any better/different than just giving them an access point to use from home other than now they don't need to find a ride to the library?
In this context I am drawing the line with wifi and personally issued Internet connected devices, particularly where the student isn't really getting instruction from a live person.
