L.A. School Superintendent Folds on Laptops-For-Kids Program

Posted by timothy on Saturday February 21, 2015 @09:16AM from the but-they-were-only-tax-dollars dept.

In an announcement yesterday reported on by Ars Technica, [Los Angeles school superintendent] Ramon C. Cortines said that the city can't afford to buy a computer for every student. The statement comes after intense controversy over a $1.3 billion initiative launched by Cortines' predecessor, former superintendent John Deasy, in which every student was supposed to be given an iPad loaded with content from educational publisher Pearson. (That controversy is worth reading about, and sparked an FBI investigation as well.)

I was just wondering how many of them are going to be stolen/traded for crack. And not just by the kids either, but also their parents. After all, this is LA we're talking about.
