I could see the school districts getting student discounts and the students taking the iPad from grade school onward. Would save the backs of little kids, that's for sure.

I'd agree, but no good stylus significantly decreases the utility.
I'm getting really frustrated by companies releasing large screen ereaders (or potential equivalents) ignoring this. It's such a (censored) obvious need.
On the same point, would it not be pretty trivial just to release two versions with different types of touchscreen?
