The thing is, these iPads aren&#x27;t meant to teach about computing. They&#x27;re tools for teaching other subjects, like math or geography or English or whatever. Just like a geography textbook is a bad way to learn about papermaking, so is an educational iPad a bad way to learn about computing.<p>I still think they&#x27;re awful for other reasons, but their lack of hackability is a feature, not a bug.
