""And it's not a requirement to have a cell phone, but for students who don't have one, teachers provide laptops and some tablets so all students can participate.""

I'm sure that's not going to make the poor kids feel to good when everyone has to now know they are poor.
And they wonder why suicide is on the rise for kids.

Wow, I'm glad my son is out of high school and in college. because we could never afford to buy those things when he was in high school. Now he has a cell phone and laptop (he bought from money he made on his part time job). I hear him talk about that tablet thing, I don't know what it is, but I've heard him talking to his friends about it.

The dumbing down of the American students by lazy union teachers paid by our tax money.

I hate to agree with you, but I think you hit a major bullseye with that post. Everyone will be doing more picture taking and less teaching and learning.

When I was a kid, it was bad enough not having the expensive sneakers or clothing, but now I would need an expensive iPhone with unlimited data and minutes?

Schools should have school uniforms and no personal phones, tablets or laptops.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Gemini

You're in a warm-hearted and generous mood today, especially when dealing with loved ones and members of the family. You want to give them as much of your time as possible, and also to do anything else that will keep them happy. The only snag will come if you're trying to spread yourself too thin and you end up making promises that will be difficult, if not impossible, to keep. You may forget all about them but other people won't.
