Laptops in school?!

I would like to have a laptop for myself in class and @ home
You can learn how to use the PC, this knowledge can help u to find a job
You can learn with the computer - e.g. find information all over the internet; learn to type faster
BUT you may sit in front of it the whole day , and stop doing sports, dont hang out with your friends anymore, or try to find a girlfriend and have sex and save the civilisation! So a laptopt stops procreation by making us have no personal contact to each other :-P

Pupils use it in every subject and for everything including homework and presentiations
you can find information faster and learn to decide which is more important
problems could be technical mistakes or that pupils don't do what they should
some of the pupils could try to hack the schoolnetwork, download porn or do other stupid things
the system gets overloaded if a hundred pupils login at the same time e.g. in the morning at 8 a.m.
the costs would be very high
in the third world pupil will trade their laptops against food
large studies show, that pupils, who learn with computers are better in some subjects for example maths
most teachers are not able to use them cause they are too silly
the kids would use the laptop for gaming
many will break and poor mr theli has to repair them
