At some schools there replacing textbooks with Ipads

[Easy-E]

1. No way schools can really afford that
2. These young men don't stand a chance against FAP monkey --porn too easily accessible
3. Is this gonna make them smarter? We still gonna teach them; college or failure?

U know there not reaching the public schools.

Actually there have them at Charles Henderson high in lil ol' Troy, Alabama. A friend told me that some falsely claimed they went missing and they kept them.

How about just hiring qualified teachers who actually like their job and pay them more money to do it?

A lot of the private schools down here in south FL do that already

Yeah, there are a lot of schools that do it. I was talking to a few kids that had it already and I was like well damn, I never had that shyt when I was in school.

Told me that they don't take them home and some other things after I raised a few questions.

But I was reading about Apple's textbook program a while back too. Whatever gets the latest information to kids in a cheap fashion is always good, I say. But it reminds me that I'm a bit rusty on the subject.

I know the program had its fair share of naysayers but I really need to look into it again.

This should be easily cheaper than physical textbooks. This is the way most in my graduate program are going because the books are like 1/5 the price, even for specialized books. Why choose Ipads though? Most expensive and only average to low end capability. An x86 tablet kills in these situations, which we've been finding out over the last couple of years in grad school. Definitely like the specialized Amazon and Nook versions more than the specialized versions from Apple. If done right, you can pretty much do everything in school on one x86 tablet. Far cheaper than traditional books/pen/paper bags/graphing calculator.

i found the torrents to all my textbooks this semester and kept them on my iPad with my notability app so i can highlight and annotate the pdfs.

I think its a good idea

it's wack. these kids are all about to be wearing glasses by the time they are 17. Plus look at what happened with that Lower Marion High school with those laptops they handed out and remote viewing, where school officials were viewing into those kids homes by remotely accessing the camera on the laptop. If anything, give those kids a kindle, not an ipad... with a kindle, it has an e-ink screen to minimize eye strain and it's made for reading. The only way I can see the Ipad as different is if they are going to load it full of interactive learning software while completely disabling the ability to install apps and the such.

It makes a ton of sense for college price-wise. Kids nowadays are growing up with electronics so I could see it keeping them more engaged. Plus you're saving paper If they lock these e-readers down to the point they can only be used for educaional purposes, I see nothing wrong with this.

Did anyone think about the kids who live in rough neighborhoods? What about the kids who have to walk through the hood with this expensive device?

No kidding. I don't see why this dummy is even concerned about this. It's obvious he has never been to school and has no intention of ever sending his kids.
