L.A. Schools Wasted Millions on a Failed iPad Initiative. Now They Want Their Money Back. Not a lot of "learning" happening here

Reason reports:

We've reached the inevitable next stage of the $1.3 billion Los Angeles iPad debacle: furious district administrators don't want any more of the accursed devices—they just want a refund.

The L.A. Unified School District has directed its attorneys to consider legal action against the two companies—Apple and Pearson—contracted to provide iPads and accompanying curriculum for every student in the district. The mind-bogglingly expensive program proved to be a total catastrophe; no one knew what to do about lost or stolen iPads, and teachers struggled to implement the unreliable curriculum.

The great moments of public education! Just a reminder the next time you are asked to pay higher taxes to "invest" in government run education.
