Welp, making the iPad as a tool for educational purposes is backfiring as they're too expensive, also given to limited tools to make digital textbooks and note taking is very limited.

Microsoft should take over these operations as the new Surface 3 is the perfect tool for education such as note taking, and One Drive is amazing. Also teachers don't have to worry about having the iPads jailbroken as Windows does have better security features for enterprise than iOS.

That whole thing is a mismanaged mess.

It is, especially with corruption that plagues the district. Also, I think the district should have sued Pearson's instead, after all, they're the ones sold the iPad with their software for a substantial amount. This may also damage Pearson as an education provider company in the long term as well since their software is botched on iOS.
