Just think of how many of those parents were just THRILLED that their little darlings got *free* laptops.

Look at the way the district promoted the laptops. This is straight from the Complaint in post #10:

>>>>> "The District is... in the final stages of implementing a one to one laptop computer initiative at the High Schools. Thanks in part to State and Federal grants secured by our technology staff... every high school student will have their own personal laptop - enabling an authentic mobile 21st Century learning environment. The initiative... launched... last year... enhances opportunities for ongoing collaboration, and ensures that all students have 24/7 access to school based resources and the ability to seamlessly work on projects and research at school and at home. The result: more engaged, active learning and enhanced student achievement. While other districts are exploring ways to make these... incentives possible, our programs are already in place, it is no accident that we arrived ahead of the curve; in Lower Merion, our responsibility is to lead." <<<<<

Those students and families probably had no idea what was about to hit them.

We all paid for this.

The FBI should have immediately raided the school's admin offices and checked what is on their computers.
