They are only appointed until they get voted out, K-S-U.

Maybe Sam should just float an amendment to take this education nonsense out of our constitution. Let the people decide.

I mean it is pretty lol that the progressives that founded this state are coming back to haunt Sam and his cult of the Constitutionists/state's rights crowd.

Makes more sense that books imo

I'd lean more towards chrome books though

Lots of schools go this route.

It depends on the subject, really. I don't really believe ipads are more cost-effective than books, but I'm not aware of what sort of deal Apple gives these schools, either.

Does any state funding go to athletics or is that 100% locally funded?

I mean, money is fungible.

Good friend is an administrator in a school district. It's great for the kids.

What subject would it be bad for? I've used online books for all sorts of courses.

It's not that it would be bad. It's just that it wouldn't provide a meaningful improvement over a book and it would cost more.

A 150 dollar chrome book would cost more than ~5 books?

SdK · « **Reply #22 on:** March 02, 2017, 01:15:20 PM »

And I'm sure the schools gets the chromebooks cheaper than that

SdK · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2017, 01:16:15 PM »

Always allows for children to have their own computing device at home if their family doesn't. Also cut out the need for a school computer lab.

You still have to buy books for the chrome book and I know that in my town, the kids actually end up keeping the ipad so you have to replace those every year, while you get several years out of a textbook.
