I think that the individual laptops are not needed in the classroom. I know most student would probably use it for negative reason. I think the school system should used the money for either after-school programs or more teachers' aids. I know for most students computers does not make a person smarter. Lastly, individual laptops in a classroom can be a distraction to teachers. When the teacher is teaching a lesson there is a good chance the child will most likely be on the internet.
