[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours is falling apart. The screen has a permanent mark and there is some screw loose on the bottom. [/quote]

Then have your kid take it to IT and trade it in for a new one. [/quote]i

Or tell your kid not to damage it in the first place. The reason so many FCPS laptops are in rough shape is that kids don’t have accountability for anything anymore and treat school supplies like garbage. Then the parents scream at the school, not their kids.[/quote]

Giving a laptop to grade school kids is ludicrous.  No, they don't treat them properly.  Yes, it is the schools' fault for giving the laptop to the kids before they are ready.

When we were in school, years ago, the first "electronic device" we got were graphing calculators in middle school.  We were told to be very careful with them, to treat them like glass, that they were expensive ($100 then and now).  And later we treated our other electronics carefully.

Kids these days are given ipads in rubber cases in preschool and laptops at very young ages.  They are not taught to be careful, they are too young for that anyway.  They learn to abuse the electronics because that is how the devices are used.

Laptops also contribute to the deterioration of academics and school.  But that's a separate issue.[/quote]
