[K12OSN] [Bulk] Computer lab needed in Elementary school?

[Terrell Prude' Jr.]

After reading all the arguments for and against an LTSP-based computer 
lab, and being in a large school district with "wireless everywhere", 
here's what I think.

Dedicated LTSP computer labs are still the way to go.  The whole point 
of a computer is as a tool to get work done.  That means the teachers 
need to be able to monitor what the kids are doing.  LTSP lends itself 
very well to just that.  Additionally, only certain applications need to 
be enabled (OO.o and Firefox, chiefly).  LTSP systems are easy and less 
time-consuming to maintain, especially as the number of devices / end 
terminals grows.  Finally, computer security is much easier with LTSP, 
on several counts.
