Comments on: Who pays for LAUSD’s broken or stolen iPads? https://calwatchdog.com/2013/09/26/who-pays-for-lausds-broken-or-stolen-ipads/ Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:48:14 +0000 hourly 1 By: George Buzzetti https://calwatchdog.com/2013/09/26/who-pays-for-lausds-broken-or-stolen-ipads/#comment-40150 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 23:48:14 +0000 http://calwatchdog.com/?p=50470#comment-40150 First, in the Jaime Aquino Feb. 12, 2013 power point there are 5 different prices from $1,598 to $200 with a 5 year guarantee. How in 2-4 weeks does it go from no more than $200 with a 5 year guarantee to the board approved $1,000 each with a 3 year guarantee with the financial differences and no difference in performance, in fact, the iPad only has 32GB and my old cheap laptop with a nice screen and real keyboard has 220 GB. Someone obviously has a bought and sold purchaser. Prior to the Feb. 12 power point the Citizens Bond Oversight, or money give away, Committee approved $1,598 each. What were they thinking of as in the test schools of the 40 only 8 did not have Apple products. How is this a test? Joke time.

Now when the author says they can be put in jail and that these laws apply I don’t think he knows what he is talking about. Obviously, he does not know of the pages of documents, which have been hidden, relating to this going back to 2001. Know before you speak is a good thing to follow. By the way, it is illegal at this time to take them off campus and they sign to have the teacher pick them up at the end of day so how did they get off campus and the training required was not given. The district is libel for this. The “Bomb” on this will be dropped next week and then a lot will be running for the hills and isolation.

That’s a budget cut that could get more money to the classroom. Let LAPD and LA Sheriff fill that role.

If any kids actually get educated, that’s just some happy side benefit but not the reason for its existence. Jerry Pournelle postulated this way back in the 70s when he was describing NASA. Look up Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy.
