Lol. Stupid. Kids will break it and since they can't afford these toys on their own they ain't gonna get inx for these toys it'll just be paper weights. Kids will lose it, and basically just another waste. Instead of using the money for better teachers, just dump it on useless toys so you can tout look, we got iPad for our kids and internet service so they can browse the internet.

A perfect tool to spy on kids in and out of school. It can be used for positive and negative social behaviors and skills. The advantages are spotting learning disabilities. Who controls the software and security protocols that is downloaded on these devices. ??

Teachers are not going to discourage reading books. I was in Washington when they locked down and would let kids back to school for over a year. My sons teacher sent books home for him to read and encouraged using ALL of the tools available to them. We live in a digital world and they will be better off learning to use these tools.

Coordinated stalking . Ask your self who has access to those street light timers and cameras . And then think about all of the trucks and cars and buses that wreck .

I am a parent. Laptops and iPads do not teach children. Those programs will say the child is doing good when they can't add subtract or write their name. They don't even teach them to read. Buy some old school learning books now they are dumbing down education.

I mean technology is advancing. I'm not surprise. No more old raggy school books.
Nothing Specific.
Sure, why not! Everything is free to illegals! The government should just give everyone a car and house, and $100,000 to start off! They can't make these newer generations any more entitled and lazy anyways!
