Jacpher Posted April 10, 2011 A Maine school system may be adding the iPad 2 to its list of mandatory kindergarten classroom items, with the district footing the bill. The Auburn Schools Committee voted unanimously to provide all kindergartners with an iPad 2 next year. Each subsequent kindergarten class would receive individual devices as well, CNN and WGME report. It would cost the district about $200,000 next year, with Apple cutting them a deal by charing $475 per iPad. Superintendent Tom Morrill says the district will find the money in the budget and through grants. "What we're seeing is that this is an essential tool -- even more important than a book. It's a learning tool they need to have." Skeptical community members say the kids are too young to take care of an iPad and that they simply don't need it.

Nin-Yaaban Posted April 10, 2011 Maine has a large Somali community, anything that benefits them is a good thing. On another note, as long as they're not using it to post more garbage stuff on Youtube. Some retarded Somalis post stuff from Maine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
