some opinions needed.
my oldest gets a ipad 4 from school. In return i pay 25 dollars a year and have to sign a contract. i have done this two years in a row. I dont even have a cellphone contract i pay for cards when i want one but signed this for my kid to have a ipad to bring home (it is the new thing i guess they bring home homework etc on it).
The contract stipulates the first time it breaks the parent is responsible for 50 dollars. second time the replacement or repair costs.
kid broke it. no problem. pay the 50.
But the way i think about it, if my kid breaks another one i eat the cost of the ipad.
on top of the 25 dollars a year. Plus my kid isn't allowed to take it home for the summer.
so doing the math. i figured i would just pay the fifty to the school for the one my kid broke. And forget the contract just buy my kid a ipad (made more sense to me, sorta in the long run)
so i bought a couple ipad 4's. one for me and the wife to play with, one for my kid to replace the one my kid was nolonger getting from school. Like i said, it made sense.
But the school now says she isn't allowed to use the one i bought her, as no outside electronic devices are allowed. They block the one from the school they issue. Apparently, i have no choice BUT to sign the contract. which i am kind of annoyed over especially since now i bought her a ipad instead of going with the school issue one.
i didnt want the contract though, if my kid broke it again, i would be out the cost of the ipad (might as well just buy her one) plus paying the yearly fee plus my kid couldnt take it home in the summer. i just didnt see the point of it. They charge FULL replacement cost too. Not like bay price even if it is beat to crap..
oh, i guess supposedly i dont "have" to have the contract. Just my kid doesnt get a school ipad. which is what they do work on. my kid is honor roll. I dont want to screw up the education here. If i dont have the school contract, and they wont let the home ipad go to school, i am pretty positive it will effect the grades. I think they are wrong. i think she should be able to use the ipad i bought her. just like if i buy her school supplies, a calculator, sport stuff school related. But the policy is she isn't allowed to. No electronic devices and she isn't allowed to use if for school or in school. That i basically have to go with the school contract and school issue one.
