I had this narrowed down to A and E and wrote out my reasoning and decided on A. I read the conclusion as "This trend should be stopped." and the following sentence as just supporting evidence of why it should be stopped. Answer A is the only answer that gives you a direct attack on the conclusion. No, this shouldn't be stopped as science is moving so rapidly that it's difficult for schools to keep up without computers. I get why E works I just don't get why it's better. The "yeah, but" works with answer A as well.
Hm. I don't share your enthusiasm for (A). Now, if it said that students need computers in order to learn, I think it would be a very effective counter. But it's not clear to me that the needs of schools are directly relevant to the question of what helps students learn best.
That doesn't mean you have to hate (A) (you may argue that schools' needs do at least indirectly affect students' ability to learn), but its attenuated relationship to the conclusion should help you choose between it and (E).
There will likely be other times when a choice may conceivably have some effect on the argument. On those occasions, go with the response that deals most directly with the conclusion.
