Our PTA donated an entire array of iPads to the school. Probably $20K worth of pads/charging stands/secure carts. Took 2-3 years of saving and fundraisers to get there.<p>Over the last 18-24 months the classrooms have been introducing Google Docs and Chromebooks. Now the district is purchasing a mess of Chromebooks on their own. Every kid has been given their own gApps account. The iPads are going to gather dust, as far as I can tell.<p>I can totally understand why. The laptops are way more functional for what the kids are doing in the classroom. iOS is (finally) catching up to the needs of education with things like the multiple-login enable, but it's too little too late.<p>A lot of parents, myself included, are <i>extremely</i> pissed off at the moment. Maybe we should get in on this.
