School system bought thousands of tablets for seventh graders at the cost of millions of (tax) dollars.
There was a "High rate of loss and failure" for the tablets. Go figure, but the program was temporarily halted and what functional tablets were left, were collected.
They're restarting the program next year, at the cost of millions more dollars. Why? Well, after much evaluation, it was determined that the first project was an abject failure because the *wrong* tablets had been purchased. This time, school admins are certain, will be a complete success.
Anyone here know the definition of insanity?
My grandson’s school has iPads for their use. However, they are used in school only, and locked in a drawer when not in use. Each student brings a USB drive for saving their work to show family.

Remember the advertizement thirty years ago for those large mobile cell phones?
A kid is trying to put a square peg in a round hole. He grabs the cell phone and uses it like a sledge hammer to beat the peg into the hole.
