That’s an insignificant expenditure compared to the millions wasted in failed attempts to educate them already.

Are they spreading the 'Rona via these laptops?

Well the alternative is the students falling all the way to LA student levels.

This has been happening in public schools in Louisiana for years to no ill effect. If you actually cared your jimmys should have been rustled a while ago.

Probably didn't have much choice. Alot of people dont have access to a computer/laptop at home.

Kudos to the district for trying, probably a lose/lose situation either way.

I’m not really outraged by this.

I thought they were being donated.

I think they did it in St. Charles Parish too.

This is a really weird thing for people to be upset about.

Seems like a good idea. They should try to get a laptop to every student though. It's easier to protect the students while online if they are on managed devices.

Right wing socialists certainly won't go for this; we need to transfer the wealth to the billionaires instead.
