We were told this at back to school night. They also said we were liable for damages to the computer.


My middle schooler left the school laptop on the floor, stepped on it and cracked the screen. I wasn't charged. The school has insurance.

I’m teaching K and we haven’t even gotten the kids logged into the laptops yet.

At our ES they have carts in the room for charging.


Our school does not have carts for each classroom to charge.

But of course your use of the offensive word hysteria is not an issue at all, is it?

Our fourth grader will only bring the computers home if they have homework they are supposed to be do on the computer. The Teachers don’t think the kids should be carrying them back and forth.

Are you sure it is a laptop and not iPad or something? I cant imagine kindergartners carrying laptops daily!


Yes, a laptop. My son confirmed that they were shown their laptops this past week. Teacher said they're getting them next week.

Wow here I am thinking my upper ES kid is going to get back issues from carrying a laptop everyday!

You're not liable for damages. Just try to keep the laptop in good shape. If something happens, then IT will handle it.

This is ridiculous. I get that it's a contingency plan, but then make a plan to do curbside pickup of the laptops if you have to quarantine a kid or a class like they did summer 2020. Please don't make my just turned 5 year old carry a laptop back and forth and also tell me I'm liable for any damage he causes. It's not cool.
