Maybe you should have thought about the expenses with three kids before having them. If your family isn't poor, how sad for your kids that you cannot afford computers for each of them.

I wish these DCUMers would go ahead and invent that time machine already. It would be so helpful.

Meanwhile, it should go without saying that the the PP with the 3 kids can't just send one (or more) of them back after encountering expenses.

If you cannot afford a $200 chromebook and are not low income, then something is seriously wrong with your spending or life choices. I am tired of people living in expensive houses and then screaming poverty when its their choices, not poverty. I feel bad for those kids if their parents don't put them first and put their lifestyle choices first.

In the meanwhile, families who need chrome books cannot get them as others took them who can afford to buy one or use their iPads.

No one wants to buy your kids’ used iPad. And even if they did, they wouldn’t give you enough to buy a new Chromebook.

Have you ever tried using an iPads with Google classroom??

Didn't think so.

The text doesn't synch up on an iPad as it does when you're using Chrome and you literally type OVER the text.

Yes, I have and we do. We have both an iPad and laptop and use both. Sell your iPad and buy a chromebook.

Who screamed poverty here? We took something that is being loaned by the school system. We will be returning them after this is over. I am not spending $900 because people like you are tired of me living in a modest home. You are not paying my bills and you do not know my family situation.

I think it is just one person harping about this, while there are several of us saying its okay to borrow one if you need it, regardless of your income.

Last I have to say on this. You please continue your tirade.

And, what do you define as modest? We have a 1000 square foot house/under $400K and funny thing, we can afford to buy what are kids need. How on earth do you kids do their homework without computers when so much is online?

Good for you.
Although... you really shouldn't act so preachy when you don't know the difference between are and our, sanctimommy.

Auto correct. At least my kids have what they need.

Your school may have enough but other schools don't. That's pretty selfish to take one when your kids have computers.

Agree with this.

Seriously? Your kids have desktop computers and you took Chromebooks home?

Our ES ran out of Chromebooks. Definitely selfish of the PP.

DP. Feel free to discuss your position with THE SCHOOL THAT SAID IT WAS OK FOR THE PP TO GET CHROMEBOOKS FOR THEIR KIDS.

Ok, then that speaks poorly of the school as well. They are only looking out for their students and not others, who have the true need.

from the MCPS email: "Distribution of Chromebooks is for students who do not have access to a computer, Chromebook or laptop at home. Families do not need an MCPS Chromebook if they have a computer, Chromebook or laptop at home for their child to use."

I cant believe that the PP did this. People are trying to help everyone get through one of the worst crises in nearly a century and you . . . . . took three chromebooks because they are easier to deal with that their desktops? Any that not needed at your could be used at another school
