I'm aware that funds aren't necessarily discretionary, but could the money spent on all this technology be redirected to teacher salaries (or other basic supplies) if the technology is dumped? I'd be curious to see the breakdown of funds that gets used for iPads/Chromebooks/etc. As someone who thinks that children should absolutely be learning programming as soon as possible, I don't really think that means they need brand new whatever every year (not implying that's what is currently happening). When I was growing up, we had incredibly old machines (in a computer lab, or sometimes a couple shared computers pre classroom), and I think this actually worked fine (perhaps better in some respects now -- since a "benefit" of an old Apple II is that its pretty focused on the one task at hand, and can't load up other things).
