Re: 1:1 Laptop Planning

> Any thoughts?

Well, Robert, you asked for "any thoughts?" This is going to be an unusual
response, and I apologize in advance if you think this is out of line. But
if you go back and reread your message, you will see that it contains the
following words or phrases:

"tightly coordinated"
"enumerated expectations"
"face to face training"
"multiple observations"
"policies"
"loss of anticipation"

Frankly, this sounds more like a military exercise than a laptop program.
Seems to me that rolling out a laptop program should be a joyful
experience. I know that sounds harsh, but you asked for "any thoughts?"
