... Tablet PCs, especially iPads, which nowadays are often used for Facebook, Twitter, Angrybirds and Internet surfing...
..are supposed to 'improve pupil discipline and exam results'? EXCUSE ME?
That's like giving iPhones to 1200 pupils to 'improve communication between students and lower physical bullying danger'.
Especially when they could have buyed tablets that are probably better than the iPad (in multi-usable ways) that are way cheaper. And probably harder to damage.
I'm... just facepalming at this.
If it would be people who care about items that don't belong to one, it would be fine.
But if the iPads get sometimes damaged THREE TIMES, and sometimes even REPLACED, then, just...
God damn it, teachers. No, and I am telling you, NO SCHOOL consists of more than 50% of the nice, little students that always put their hands up, are never mean, always put an apple on your desk, and wrap their books in gift paper so they look extra-beautiful. They don't go home, do homework instantly, then walk their dog, study, and be nice and tidy, leaving nothing but a small scratch on their iPads when they return them.
NO.
GOD DAMN IT, NO.
If they had just kept the iPads in the classroom, basicly letting them be an IN SCHOOL ITEM, would have caused no troubles. That is the best thing and the easiest thing they could have done.
But NO, they got the puppy eyes of one fake girl that asks 'Can't we show them to our parents to see how good we learn at this school?', and they caused the chaos.
Urgh, stupidy. Ironic is too, that at the Apple page, the iMac is said to be high-quality and advanced and stuff, but the iPad? "WELL, WE CAN SECURE STUFF, AND WE CAN DISPLAY STUFF ON THE TEACHER'S APPLETV. Er, about the quality of the material? OH NO, NO WORDS."
I'm getting way too enraged by this pancake who thought it was a good idea.
And I swear, in 50 years, we're writing on Pads instead of Paper. What it's like to sharpen a pencil? What's a pencil? It's one of these stone-age-drawing stick thingies? PFFT, NAH.
