Apparently we are supposed to purchase one and send it to school with him every day
I am a terrible email reader, and it wasn't even on my radar until today.
I think it is ridiculous to require middle school students to bring a device that is 300-1000 to school. And what about them being lost/damaged/stolen?!!!
The office woman let me know that there will be extra devices that can be checked out on a daily basis, but what if those are all "taken"? And in reading the emails I missed, they are not presenting it as an "optional" thing. However I guess they are going to have some available.
I don't know. Stuff like this just makes me upset because it is a public school, and I don't think they should be required to have one. My high schooler doesn't even have to take technology to school.
Thoughts?
