You would be surprised to see how many Trinis fall for that

[AllTrac]

just to update, COURTS FURNITURE STORE got the contract to supply the laptops for this next rounds of laptop rollouts.

[Soundwave]

children may get a free blender also...

[stev]

Courts? buh wah d jel is dis. LMAO

[Sky]

The problem with Couts and notebooks is the after sale support. Or lack of. Otherwise it's the same stuff you'll get anywhere else.

[SmokeyGTi]

courts? d phoq is dis i hearing here...u serious?

[Stephon.]

I'm happy courts got the contract cuz now we get 3 years to pay off for the laptops and it won't be as hard on the taxpayers onetime na!

[hustla_ambition101]

Courts cheaper than direct from manufacturer?

Still see this laptop thing as a waste of money though, has anything improved in the secondary school system??? Have the previous recipients done anything beneficial? Or are we prepping for wikipedia laced projects

[Strauss]

..and seriously do they REALLY need bluetooth?

THANK YOU!

Really? A key tech you have a problem with? That's kinda backward thinking there. Or is it just that you don't use Bluetooth for anything important that you feel everyone else can do without it?

what a waste of taxpayers money....this 83million could be used to pay teachers what are owed to them...

kids just use this for games and pornography....

Thanks Dookeran......this was the stupidest election promise ever...what a waste of resources....

Students are being told to not bring these to schools unless instructed by a teacher.....

[saxman642]

Distribution started Tuesday in the southwest peninsula...

[daniel135]

I'm guessing you're either a teacher or your significant other is, and not the parent of a first form student, ent?

I wonder how many parents out there who would, never having the means to buy their child a laptop for passing SEA, bump their gum now about this being a waste of taxpayers money....ask them to show by raise of hands nah?

[daniel135]

skidz feel all children like that they are very fortunate, only thing i find is still to much money my opinion

why buy the child a laptop for passing sea, to masturbate or watch movies?? If it is such an integral tool the computer labs and library facilities for schools should be upgraded. How much of the secondary school classes digitized? How many teachers embrace methods such as pod casts, how many of the texts books available as digital downloads?

Why do you assume the worst? Can children not do that with a desktop computer too? Or a smart phone? Or a portable DVD player? You should do a survey and find out what the well-to-do in T&T bought their children for passing SEA, before this whole laptop giveaway came about.

The other questions are not for me to answer...I ent no political advocate.

[stev]

question....maybe i cant remember...but why buy laptops for students? what work they have to do so? isnt there computer labs available in schools for those who dont have a computer?

CXC is not an online exam last time i checked.....

if they dont have the means then I am going on the assumption that they dont make enough money to be paying considerable PAYE taxes or even none at all if they fall below the bracket in terms of income.......

So why should my tax paying dollars be used to buy laptops for them?.....

again waste of my taxpaying dollars......Trinidad is all about freeness...and it starting from early......

doesnt matter which school the child passes for ...once he sits his butt down and write sea...he will be given a laptop....why are we rewarding this?.....Rewards should be given in terms of performance......

Thats why some of them will drop out before they reach form 5 .....make children and expect the goverrnment to give them free house free groceries and monthly stipends......which happens btw....

too much nonsense in this country...... IMPOV.

EXACTLY

[fouljuice]

How much one of those laptops costing this year?

[nemisis]

gt4tified i assume the worst because it is the smartest way to approach any situation. I not going to watch two men with guns liming outside my home and assume its plain clothes police.......The laptops are going to help a % of children who couldn't afford one that is true but like with gate they shoud only provide it to deserving student for example those who pass for prestige schools or had scores in sea over a certain minimum value.
