Well even if I did have a notebook, I wouldn't have brought it to school. Got my Ti-83 Plus Calculator stolen twice. They were pretty expensive too..around 250 dollars at the time.

Crimson also made another good point, that the kids might be doing other activities like IMing, checking Facebook etc. Yeah sure the school might put barriers against them, but be real, the kids will find ways to get around them.

I don't doubt this.
