Exam Day –Cartoon: For Better or For Worse/DeAnza College
(L.A.Times) IPad’s will be necessary for Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Students to take new state standardized tests at a cost of $1 Billion–$500 Million for the tablets and an additional $500 Million for extra bandwidth and teacher training.
LAUSD is getting hosed!
Given the fact that LAUSD has seen declining enrollment and facing a $350 Million deficit I’m thinking that the Sacramento Geniuses that came up with this brainstorm may want to reconsider paper and pencil? They worked good for many years.
Just imagine how much paper and how many pencils one could buy for just .10% of $1 Billion? If businesses could advertise on them, LAUSD could even maybe get them for free?
Nah, silly me! That would just make too much sense.
