		<description><![CDATA[What no one wants to talk about is that the I-Pads are an illegal purchase with school construction bond money.  The only time an I-Pad is a legal purchase is when it is a part of new school construction as a part of other.  That is if they replace the books.  The WiFi part is legal as this is equipment that will last more than 10 years.  Yes, equipment is to last at least 10 years.  They you must ask why did we spend all the money to wire the internet into the classrooms at a ridiculous price/classroom?  Now another 10&#039;s or 100&#039;s of millions for WiFi when we are supposed to already have internet connections.  In the original purchase it was $678/I-Pad.  It was all total $1,000 each.  $30,000 into $30,000,000=$1,000.


Now take the Jaime Aquino, asst. sup., Feb. 12, 2013 power point on this subject.  Go to page 9 and the grand total is for $500,000,000 much of that for these connections and such.  Now go to page 10 and take the about 31,000 teachers and students listed and the total for the project and the per I-Pad is now $1,592.17 each not the $1,000.  I thought you got a discount for volume not a raise in price.  Then take the $1,592 X the actual either enrollment, 654,000 or ADA, those who really come to school everyday, 564,000=$1.1 billion or $875 million.  Then we have to add the keyboards that all those pros forgot until it all fell apart in N.Y.  What is going on?  No one does the math or really analyzes and that is how this all happens.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Each state has lots of teachers that presumably are aware of their subjects. Let them create text books. Better yet, let the Dep of Ed do something useful.&quot;



Ahhahahahahahahahahaha


Thanks for the laugh. Oh so many ways to go with that one quote alone. Pick from this list and then I&#039;ll expand on the subject you choose; Common core, teachers creating textbooks, Dep of Ed and their role.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Day 1, kid gets her new iPod.  Evening 1, kid fences it to older brother for $500.  Day 2, kid shows up at school without iPod.  So, now what?  Kid has no mandatory tool to learn.  Is this not an obvious scenario?!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1.  Please reread my comment.  Particularly the part where I identify the need for a control mechanism.

2.  After just a minute with Google (and I didn&#039;t need to smoke anything - surely you can Google to), I found info digital school textbooks.  Here&#039;s a web site outlining Utah&#039;s plan to develop it&#039;s own open source books:  http://utahopentextbooks.org/ .  Each state has lots of teachers that presumably are aware of their subjects.  Let them create text books.  Better yet, let the Dep of Ed do something useful.
3. The controls need to be placed on students and parents.  Not teachers.  Like I said in my post, that&#039;s the significant hurdle.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. It has already been tried in cities like Detroit and the i-pads wind up in pawn shops.


2. Do you honestly think that the textbook makers are going to reduce the prices for digital copies of the books? If you do then I need some of what you are smoking.


3. Go try and place some controls on teachers, let me know how that worked out for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, this may end up saving some money if school textbooks are issued on the ipads and (more importantly) there is some control mechanism for ensuring they get returned in decent shape when students graduate or leave the district.  They will need to be locked down to school only apps to reduce the cases of &#039;lost/stolen&#039; ipads.]]></description>
