On the dangerously irrelevant, Bill Bradley brings awareness to an interesting point. In thinking that the cost of laptops would be ridiculous,but take a look at what your school's budget athletic budget. With athletes required to meet eligibility standards, should money be going towards the sports programs or the classroom to keep students eligible to play.
Being a varsity volleyball coach, I see that most of the money in individual sport programs account comes from fundraising.
With budget being tight in most school districts, several in Michigan have gone to a 'pay to play' program, in which each athlete pays a predetermined amount for each sport they play.
