School Kids Get Virtual Web Lockers

Lucas123 writes "Seventh and eighth graders in Tulsa, Oklahoma not only get tablet PCs at the beginning of the school year, but they are now issued 100MB of storage through a hosted school 'Web Locker' system. The Web lockers also include chat, calendaring, and collaboration capabilities, but school administrators can also monitor and track all files uploaded to the system, and lock out individuals for misuse."

Funny how those "family values" don't go after violence on TV.

killing each other of course, it's far cheaper, you pay for a funeral, but then no allowancee, no food, no tuition fees or anything to pay, and you can turn their room into a nerd room. Kids fuck, you either save nothing, or they get preggo and you have to pay for their kid too, and they probably steal your existing nerd room as a nursery. Unless you can get you daughter to fuck your son, then you at least get your nerd room, cos they can share a bedroom.

Finally!

Finally, a virtual place that kids can keep their virtual weed when they're at school.

Calling it a "virtual locker" proves you're dumb.

Calling it a "virtual" anything is just a buzzword for the subcents.

It's a collaboration suite.
