That is a great idea and im surprised it hasnt been done sooner.

One thing that did stand out from that news peice though is this...

Quote:
While the idea was popular amongst the children, it initially received some resistance from the teachers and there were problems with laptops getting broken.
Quote:
"We put in 25 laptops three years ago , only one has been broken, the kids cherish these things, it's also a TV a telephone and a games machine, not just a textbook."
More than one Laptop got broken in Maine when our kids ha them but, only one got broken in 3 years over in Cambodia.

Perhaps kids today really dont care for / appreciate the stuff they are given?
