Nope we're supposed to shell out the whole bog. In the fifth grade the teachers are assigning extra credit work that must be done on laptops in school. If there are only seven laptops availkable the students have to take turns...most presumably in alphabetical order...heh heh heh. I mentioned the low cost of transfer devices. A 128meg thumnb drive is under $100. plug it in your computer take it to scholl plug it in and theres your work.

Also if the student did their work and put it online say at my .com in the private file they could not go online to get their work to present to the class, even though all the computers are online, because the schools are worried about the students bringing viruses from home. They can't get a virus going online?

This is only part one of this pab. Wait till I tell you about school camp two weeks after spring break, about having to pay for foreign language instruction, about sending the kids home, at least once a week with something they're supposed top sell to raise money for the school, the list goes on and on my friends. Ask me if my two older sons had algebra in High School and about how the MEAP math and science scores mysteriously dissappeared for a year.
