Excellent Point! The replacement of textbooks with laptops would certainly narrow the ability to teach "anywhere - anytime". Not to mention how long it could take to train all teachers to be able to support the laptops. If a textbook gets lost or destroyed, it is difficult for many parents to replace it, even given the low fees we can require today. Imagine if a child were to accidentally lose or destroy a laptop! How would the parent be able to replace it? How would the school district be able to replace it?
