The Maine laptop experiment - in which students in the state are given their own laptops - is if nothing else an interesting source of new debates. Forget about whether or not students should be given laptops: the new issue here is whether they should be allowed to take the laptops home. On the one hand it seems so logical (what's the point of giving them laptops otherwise). On the other hand is the "drop factor" - "When you're dealing with kids 12, 13 and 14 years old, accidents can happen at that age."CRLF
