Re: Tablet/Laptop being requried at Middle School
My first thought is, "what a horrible idea". Tablets have internet capability... So many kids are already hooked on p..n and texting erm, "pictures", and here they will be unsupervised by parents. Not that long ago it was common advice to only have the computer in the main room of the house for that reason. Supervision. Even innocent stuff like just distracting games or whatever... It just seems like a bad idea. Aren't teachers going to wish for the days of gum chewing and passing notes being the normal offenses? Kids are already having to deal with online bullying after school. Or am I being overly dramatic?
At the very least, it WILL be hugely embarrassing to the children who cannot afford it. Everything matters in school, the right hair, shoes, clothes... It is awful.
