Dear M.:
I can tell you are really excited about the laptops at the middle school. I agree that learning with the laptops is suited to students like you! As another resource, the laptop is definitely a compliment to anything we have in our classrooms today--including textbooks.
I wish we could say that once you get a laptop you would get to keep it beyond graduation, but the truth is the district will need to reuse the computers for younger students. Don't worry. Many colleges and universities are now providing laptops for their students as part of their admissions programs. Educators at every level are beginning to recognize that digital learning is essential.
