[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a DCPS teacher in addition to a DCPS parent, and I chose to purchase devices for my own children. The schools will give you one if you ask, but I hate to imagine my taking them for my children leading to other children ending up with devices that aren't as good. [b]DCPS schools do have plenty of laptops in general, but many of them are really quite bad[/b], and I want the students who have no other options to have the devices that work best.

That said, if you do truly need one, definitely request one from your school![/quote]

Why do you think this? DCPS has issued specs for systems that are recommended and have purchased devices that meet those specs specifically for distribution to students districtwide. Do you think the central has spent the summer cleaning out schools and are handing them out?

Your request, as a DCPS parent and teacher will not cause another child to go without. Families, regardless of means, should be encouraged and comfortable requesting devices from schools to ensure compatibility with DCPS platforms and to minimize tech issues as the school year begins.[/quote]
