“Schools are giving out IPADS here. argh”

Some public schools are giving out computers. They are also doing away with textbooks. They are switching to that thing called “kindle”? Where books are downloaded. It’s cheaper and are just erased at the end of the semester. College textbooks can be done that way too, I hear.
On this “kindle” I’m not sure what else may be downloaded, so you FReepers who are Techno Geeks are going to have to fill me in.

You might want to check that iPad to see if there's any remote monitoring software installed on a hidden partition of the hard drive. Schools have been doing this and spying on the kids even when the kids are at home in their bedrooms.
