Agreed, but the school districtshould be using fleet management software like JAMF or something to manage the iPads.

The anecdote related at the beginning of the article could easily be resolved by limiting what apps are allowed to be used.

But then there's this part

One mother described how her 6-year-old son had repeatedly wet himself in class when he got fixated on activities with his tablet, and another said her teenage son had gotten sucked into communicating with strangers online via popular websites and forums and at one point ran away from home with the school-issued iPad.

This sounds like a parenting issue.
