All excellent ideas and wishes. But instead of books, it'll mean every kind in schoolw will requiire a computer. Will he carry that home in order to do homework or will he need to have bought his own? Either way it puts a burden on people to pay for these things and not buying textbooks does not save all the money spent on them when you consider the size of the computer room and its staff to support it and the computers that connect to it. The realities of the imiplementation have been completely ignored that I could see here.
I wonder how much of the textbook savings is real and suspect it will outspend using actual text books because of the ease of fraud, etc. in such a system. I've found that the CA reports on this are seriously flawed and biased, depending on who you listen to and as usual there is no "clearing house" of accurate informatoin to draw from. I'd like to see some links to supporting articles for this concept so I can learn more; I haven't found anything good enough to trust.
