| Our children have been given these horrible, tiny laptops that they are supposed to do ALL their work on. I can't imagine having to write an essay or take a math test on something the size of a large paperback book. What are they thinking? |

| Oh FFS! The kids are able to do their work, and aren't complaining. You can send them in with fancier personal laptops if you want. |

| We got our kid a monitor for home use - he loves it. |

Apparently you cannot. They have to be school issued. |

At FCPS you absolutely can send in personal- FCPS allows BYOD. Here’s link to show your school if they say no:

| I opted out of school laptop, send the kid with their own, they only use it if they need to. |

Monitor and keyboard/mouse will transform almost any laptop. |

| My kid used their school-issued laptop at school and a better one at home (with a monitor). |

| Laptop docking station for home with a separate monitor or two and a full size keyboard. It’s a much better setup. |

Same. We have a PC for home use that is docked with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. |
