The Digital Gap Between Rich and Poor Kids Is Not What Was Expected
My kids get school supplied iPads.  They get some real life experience from this: how to deal with terrible school mandated applications.  This mirrors my experience working at IBM.<p>For example, in one app they have to enter answers to homework, but the app does not allow you to edit the answers once entered.  So, my kids have learned to write their answers in a google docs, and then cut &#x2F; paste when they are really done.<p>Oh, they also learn that the school IT guy reads their email if they use naughty words in it.  Also there is a perennial question of whether the iPad spys on our home network when they are home..
