My daughter advises that next year, at her middle school, the students will be allowed/encouraged to bring their own computers to school. Because they don’t have enough… never have enough… and they aren’t very good.
So now the problem will be solved. By parents. And peer pressure.
How many parents will know that their child’s “portable” computer is likely not insured outside their home? (Home insurance policies generally do not cover laptops removed from the home…)
How many will find out the hard way?
If memory serves, the not-so-long-ago Alberta Commission on Learning was supported in its call for computers for each child. Guess they should have been more specific about who should pay for them.
This could be very interesting.
