My son actually got in trouble for taking "his" (read MINE) ereader to school. First it generated too much interest from the other kids causing a rucus in class. Then, he had the audacity to be reading it during class after he had already finished his work...

We wouldn't want our children to be reading in schools, now would we!

I do agree with the backpack issue, though. I have actually taken to buying copies of my son's textbooks so that he doesn't have to lug those cinder blocks from home!
