Re:Giving a laptop to 7th graders...... (Score 1)

After moving a large desktop computer for the weekend from one house to another for my eighth grader who had an important report to do which didn't travel well between PC and MAC AND watching my two daughters carry home 5 text books a night. I am all for laptops for every student AND electronic textbooks. At least before every kid ends up hunchbacked.

One positive note on IM. My kids are great typists. I also agree on kicking them outside.
