@hughtub Agree'd

My school is getting iPads for the kids in the Gifted and Talented program. Not as cool as this, but still cool.

@hughtub Your DUMB ass just proves that racism is alive. How do you sound? Are you jealous at the fact that black students are receiving such a high level of education that we have desired for so long. Get over the fucking fact that we are no longer subject to a inferior level of education and pursuit of happiness. And your saying this as if OTHER RACES don't have the same chances to get in this school as blacks. #CheckYaSelf

@Eweaaa nah don't let the principle know...

[hughtub]

Doesn't it just kill you to see some neat high tech building, and then see some blacks sitting in the classrooms receiving that great technology and doing NOTHING with it. I know there's others who agree.

The schools make sure that a password is put on the Pc that only that student and the princaple knows.

2 schools in chicago already have been having this tablet Pc program since 2006 and every year newer students get better computer versions.

[Computist40]

it will not work, cause kids can take your id card to get into your locker, and those laptops can get stolen in a quick instant!

[RoaringBlast]

Hmm... I've taken in technology, showing a large interest. I'll research more on this. It seems like a first step, revolutionary in it's own way. Pretty nice.
