It's all       part of the same plan.               AT> it's more convenient to read textbooks,              Yup. But it's harder to manipulate textbooks.               AT> there's password issues,              Minor at best.               AT> there's privacy concerns              Most certainly.              A number of years ago, there was in incident where students had school-owned       laptops. One day, a teacher harassed a student for taking drugs while       studying. The student was confused because he didn't do drugs. Then he       realized he was eating Good N' Plenty the night before.              But then he asked "How does my teacher know what I was doing last night?"              And that opened a huge can of worms for the school. The school had remote       admin access to the laptop, including the camera. There were more than a few       teachers in posession of pictures of students in various forms of undress. Did       I mention that all those students were underage?                     ...
