| East Chicago school reclaims MacBooks for student safety |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| East Chicago students are being asked to return their school issued MacBook computers. School officials say they are taking back the laptops to protect the children. A few years back, there was a series of incidents where young kids were robbed for their Starter jackets in Chicago. Now it appears some thieves are interested in going high-tech. How East Chicago Central High School in northwest Indiana has responded has some parents fuming. "A lot of these kids enjoyed them. My, myself, I can't afford Internet at home for my children," said parent Lourdes Hicks. Hicks says her two daughters loved that East Chicago's Central High School supplied each of its students with an Apple laptop computer for use at home and school. |
