Once again we are failing our children. Education is now big business, and testing is a big part of that. Technology and education go great together, but the tech and educational book publishers are stalling that wonderful union by de-railing with profit margins. Major colleges and universities are now just profit centers under the guise of "research facilities", while also allowing athletic departments to go unchecked (hence why they won't pay student athletes, but that's a different topic). Education tablets should only be used for school, and parents need to be more vigilant and actually monitor their kids education as well. It all goes back to your discussion about parenting a few posts ago.
Colleges may be “profit centers,” (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) but that says nothing about failure at the public school level. Profit margins aren’t preventing these schools from providing every student with a tablet.
Still, the point stands that parents must play a larger role. The question becomes “what’s stopping them from playing a larger role,” and are the kids even receptive to that larger role anymore.

Very good point
I try, I really do.
