I'm kinda skeptical that this would be cost neutral or save schools money, and if it doesn't, the odds aren't good that it'll go anywhere. There are far too many districts that are having financial problems. My wife's salary (she's a teacher) was cut in the neighborhood of 18% this year because of budget problems (the official number is 10%, but for a good chunk of the teachers it was higher than that). Do you really think the teachers are going to be a big fan of the districts shelling out the money to buy ipads after something like that, even if the district found some way to come up with the money? And then who's responsible if one breaks? Many of the families in her district are in absolutely no position to buy a new one, and why should the schools be replacing them?
