I understand not all the students got a computer or even an opportunity to go to the new "wireless" school. hay, lets face it not every student would or could use them correctly. As in every big school district there are speciality schools. Even Grand Rapids has the accelerated school(City High)I am guessing this high school they are talking about is like City High. If you have a student who works hard and/ or is gifted I think it is the districts responsibility to provide as much as they can to challenge that student. And it is great to get them started young. Why not give the middle school students a computer. If the student sees some of the opportunities available for her/him then maybe that will motivate more. There very well could be a student who comes from a very under-privileged home and sees this type of education as a way out or up from her/his situation. Isn't that what education is all about. Yes we can't offer this to every one even with the extra help from Apple but we can try to get to as many as possible. I am sure that high school would love to have the problem of too many talented and capable students wanting to get in. Maybe that could be the test not the MEEP. The Meep is another discussion.....

However, I feel that the same deal should have been for all of the schools or just middle and high schools. I am from Detroit and i did not know much about computers until I went to Ferris State University my freshman year. I really love what apple is doing for the schools in Detroit.
