The Time Has Come

Finally, the time has come.  We've been waiting for it since the beginning of the school year.  This is the week that 6th graders can take home their laptops.

Now before they take home their laptops, students need to have a discussion with their parents about being responsible.  They'll talk about how to use them as learning tools, how to keep balance in their lives by not playing too many games, and how to take care of their laptops (especially if they have younger siblings with sticky fingers running around at home).

Another important topic of conversion will be charging their laptops.  They'll set a plan for where and when to charge their computers. They'll hopefully develop a routine so that they don't show up at school with a low battery.

With these details figured out, I'm sure they'll be just as responsible and smart about using their laptops at home as they are at school.
