    Did people honestly think giving 10 year olds school-issued laptops would end well in the slightest? Like, seriously?

      I never knew of anyone who didn’t use their school-issued devices for anything other than browser games most of the time. They literally used it for games rather than school work.

      You can’t hand them the reins and then complain that they’re even worse now. Schools are partially to blame for all this electronics bullshit kids are into these days. A lot of middle and high schools almost require students to have a fucking iPad these days.

      This just reminded me; my first time playing Pokemon Gold/Silver was on a computer in my school library using a fan translation patch like 6 months before the English release.

      Good times.
