I'm not totally sure why high school students would *need* laptops, but hey, maybe they do.

Should they be allowed to refuse the laptops? Yes, I think they should. A laptop is simply an option. If I don't use the issued laptop, I can use my own laptop, a palm or something else.

Such is the case with textbooks. If my prof recommends the 3rd edition of a textbook I should be allowed (and I am) to use the 2nd edition. If I miss out on information, that's my own fault for not using it. Such is the price you potentially pay for using non school issued materials.
