I don't understand the concept of school laptops. I go to one of the top scoring highschools in California, and thus one of the highest paid highschools in California, yet we still have to ask for donations to pay for printer paper. How the forget do you guys get school laptops? It seems like a titanic waste of taxpayer dollar. If you don't have a computer at home, you're living in the early 20th century and you need to spend two to four hundred dollars on a cheap laptop to escape from your Amish lifestyle. Then you don't have to worry about not being able to modify your settings, you can do whatever the forget you want with your laptop. I've never had a single reason for needing a school provided laptop. If I work on something on computers at school, I can access my home directory at home via netstorage and download the file to keep working at home. Plus, giving thousands of highschool kids laptops to carry around with them all day sounds like an awful prognosis for each individual laptop.
