Wait. Schools buy laptops for students in the USA!? In Germany I have about 10 laptops (with XP, Vista, 7, 8 (not 8.1, just 8) and at least most of them with 10) in my school. These laptops can only be taken by teachers for presentations in class or for students if they have presentations. Also, electronic devices (phone, notebook, tablet etc) are actually officially forbidden to be used or turned on in school by state law where I am.
