School Districts in Houston handing out Laptops to the underprivileged

They are handing out the Laptops to family that don't have the means to get one in order to help with at home learning. What is the % of Laptops you think don't make it back to the schools? I can see a few of these being sold to buy drugs or just getting broken.

No way this could go wrong

Houston is run by idiots.
Without O&G it would be an absolute shithole.

You know that they hand out laptops and tablets when they aren't sheltered in place, right?

Louisiana has been issuing chrome books for years.

Will find lots of laptops on eBay.

Saw this on TV here in Houston. People in Lexus SUVs lined up in the parking lot to get their free computer.

Why are people getting upset by this? Why do you guys want underprivileged kids to not have a chance at success and continue their education? Kinda weird

We’ve done the same here in Kentucky. They’ve already started a replacement fund. But they’re really cheap arse Chromebooks, so it’s not like they’re passing out top of the line computers and a lot of them were available in schools to be “checked out” to take home.

Yeah frick these educators for trying to get kids an education!

I would bet these laptops are refurbished and cost very little or donated.

I mean, some of these kids and families don't have the means, so no issues with them distributing it to those in need.
I doubt these are Alienware top of the line devices and they are more likely budget friendly laptops that they are getting at a decent rate.
Either way, I've got no issues with it.
Some here will sky scream bc some of these kids actually need em

Some of y’all just look for shite to get upset about
If a bunch of kids fell behind because Houston was too stupid to go virtual everyone would be just as triggered

Our county is doing this. You have to check them out just like library books.
I checked one out. I have four kids that are students and I’m not buying extra devices for a few weeks of use.
Maybe some will disappear, but I doubt many people are going to risk having their kids transcripts withheld over a cheap, used $90 chromebook.

Texas school districts have the money to do this. Poor ole Louisiana can cry and be jealous all they want. The La politicians don't care about their crying.

Question.
What do they need these laptops for?
has HISD not already communicated to teachers, parents, and students that almost without exception all kids are going to pass the grade they were in?
