[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTH. As a taxpayer in Arlington with two kids, I find this plan really wasteful and short sighted.  I do not think that my young kids need something that I or my husband have managed to live w/o.  They could have easily purchased a much more cost effective device/computer but for some insane reason went w/ Apple.

We[b] purposely have chosen not to expose our kids to these type of gadgets and now one person decides every kid in Arlington "needs" one[/b].[/quote]

The rest of us keeping up with the times should not have to suffer for your peculiar outlook on this. What kind of parent "purposefully chooses not to 'expose'" children to technology? You almost sound as if you think this is virtuous or something.[/quote]

why does it have to be an air book?  Those are way more expensive than a traditional PC lab top.  I would never buy one and would not want my kid asking me for one just b/c they are handed out at school.  and what do you mean "the rest of us keeping up with the times?"  my husband actually works in technology and has the most up to date software, etc. on his personal home computer which again is a PC.  You don't have to have a MAC.  most offices still use windows at work.[/quote]
