They’ll just wind up selling them for crack.
The porn industry will go wild.
You sir, have a remarkable capacity to use the language as a weapon...
Ban the iPads at school; problem fixed for the kids that cant afford them. BTW i am typing this from an iPad that I paid for because i worked for the dinero to pay for it. Hint, schools....

The cloud ate my homework..................
You can get a keyboard for under $30.
A chrome book is under $200.
There are a lot of kids in LA Unified who have never been to the beach, even though it is a few miles away. I think they should actually go somewhere real before they waste time on another gadget.
Oh, well. The dumber LAUSD is, the higher my property value is (in a non-LAUSD city).
What total morons. There is zero educational value in a teenagers iPad. It’s all Skype video calls, Candy Crush and other games, etc. A total waste of money.
obama’s evil geniuses at work again.
The school board (i.e. taxpayer) will pick them up at a special rate of $75.

Even the most stupid politicians know the only way to ensure they get their fair share of kickbacks is to spend taxpayer money on stuff they don’t need, and to make sure they build in a generous overepayment.

My bet is that nearly half of the I-pads will be broken, stolen or sold within the first week. I-pads are great, but putting them in the hands of kids is inviting disaster. Our local school district is trying the same thing and I’m sure there will be similar results with a large number broken, stolen or sold in the first few weeks.
Because, as everyone knows, the only cure for poverty is to give people free stuff. Works every time.
What happens when a kids loses his or gets it stolen?? Who pays for the replacement??
