Are laptops worth it? Are they worth the money? The effort in troubleshooting? Or having to continually maintain them? The answer to all these questions above is YES. Having laptops available in class is extremely helpful. Having laptops in class prepares us for the future because instead of learning on paper and pencil we are learning through technology which will rely on more in the future. With laptops I can understand what the teacher says when she uses unfamiliar vocabulary which extends my vocabulary detrimentally. If I could not have laptops next year I could not get the grades I have. Ever since I started using laptops learning became easy and my grades showed it. Pleases LPS continue funding laptops!
