Why can’t you just use a Bluetooth keyboard?

  You can. More money. More things to configure. More things to break. More things to lose.

    How can you lose a keyboard?

      You don't have kids, do you?

        I do... my 10 year old son lost a brand new pair of Under Armor shoes two weeks ago. Gone. Poof. It was maddening as hell, but then I realized that I have lost bigger more expensive things as well. Also, I was a kid too... So I took a deep breath and he used his birthday money to buy himeself a new pair. I didn't have to raise my voice... he just "knew" not to test on this.

        Yeah I do.

      Issues that are trivial at the level of the individual become logistics headaches when you scale out to thousands or tens of thousands of individuals.

    True. That said, if a school is spending 300 per student on an iPad, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to spend another 40 on a keyboard.

      it doesn’t seem unreasonable to spend another 40 on a keyboard. You have obviously never been involved in purchasing decisions at large public institutions. "Reasonable" never features into it.

      It may not be unreasonable, but it's more money.
