[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why my kid needs to take this laptop to and from school. He barely even gets any homework. I miss when they would have a math worksheet of homework and maybe something written. He carried this laptop to and from school daily last year and never used it at home besides to charge.

I didn’t see laptops out for my kindergarten child so I’m hoping/expecting that she won’t have to carry it. I remember my friend telling me that her tiny son had difficulty carrying his backpack with the laptop that was too heavy for him last year. She said he would tip over. The boy was the smallest in his class.[/quote]

Are you always this dramatic? Chromebooks are not heavy. Buy your kid a backpack and tell them to wear both straps. Done. No, you are not getting paper "worksheets."[/quote]

Last year, our school kept the Kindergarteners laptops at school after trying to send them home the first week. Too many kindergarteners either couldn't fit them in their small backpacks or were falling over from the weight. Literally falling over! You clearly (a) don't have a kid in FCPS and (b) don't have a small kindergartner. It's not good for ANYONE'S back to be carrying 10%+ of their weight on their back.[/quote]
