Hey NYC! How about sharing that school budget with the rest of the country huh? Some of us can't afford a textbook for each student.

My Western Civ teacher was talking about this today.He said that if he won the lottery, he'd buy everyone Ipads for classroom use b/c he said it was better. It all started when a kid in my class was on his laptop. He was allowed to though....

Ah, that sucks.
Kids are gonna break 'em or treat 'em badly. It's what happened at my high school with all the laptops.
Pity.

Pfft.
Get a SmartBoard in each classroom, like we have here.
~$10k each, and they're nearly impossible to break. More useful [and in the end, cheaper, because SmartBoards never die :v] than getting each kid an iPad.
So, let's say this lovely SmartBoard is $10k.
twenty kids in a classroom + teacher
10k/21 = ~476
CHEAPER THAN BUYING EVERYBODY AN IPAD TROLOLO.
