   iPads an iMust for schoolkids

   St Paul's Collegiate has made iPads compulsory for Year 9 students

   A number of Waikato schools already have device policies in place.

   Some make it mandatory, some have a lease-to-buy arrangement, some make it optional for students to bring tablets or laptops to school, others provide devices.

   Waikato Principals' Association chair John Coulam said exercise books, pens and pencils would be phased out in favour of tablets and laptops in time.

   Wonder how many generations before no one will know how to write.

   Heh, reminds me of scenes from _Little House on the Prairie_. When the kids are in school, they use personal-sized hand-held blackboards.
