Fun finds a way

So LAUSD's big plan was to get iPads in the hands of all their students — but only usable on school networks and for official curricular purposes? And they really expected kids to just kind of go along with that? Really?

I understand that they have some vague terror that some kid will get abused by someone they met on Twitter via their school iPad, or that some kid will be caught watching dirty movies on their school iPad — but them's the risks of providing a useful tool.

Giving folks an iPad as a locked-down, dumbed-down electronic textbook that's useless outside of school is as dumb as saying we're going to provide cars, but only for circling around the school parking lot. And it's not at all surprising that the kids have broken that security.
