I hate that schools and kids are just another market segment to target with no regard for whether the technology is beneficial/age appropriate. Think of everything else you could buy with this money instead.

What could they buy???? We all are waiting with bated breath

DP. More teachers or instructional aides.

Between my child's ancient, heavy laptop and their instrument, I'm glad that they go to SACC and don't have to worry about lugging all this stuff on the bus every day.

I think we must be at the same school. I heard this was asked at the PTA meeting and that was the response. I just want to say, on behalf of the parents who feel the same way, thank you for asking that. And if the administrators are reading this: my 1st grader nearly fell backwards off the bus on Friday because the steps were wet and there was no safety to help him carry his 10,000 lb backpack up the stairs. Please, reconsider charging carts for the classrooms.
