River Valley High School [*IP]
-
Hi parents,
I had sent my questions to http://www.todaysmeet.com on 16 and till now there is no reply from Mr Lee.
I don't want to buy iPad2 knowing that iPad3 is around the corner. Though the school said can don't participate in the program but the teachers are strongly encouraging the students to buy iPad. They are kind of getting the students to pressure their parents.
The parent association chairman even asked the parents to get the kids out of RV if don't want to participate ??!!! -

Actually what we can do is to get the iPad2 without going through the school. If the price really falls with the release of iPad3, then we'll highly likely get a lower price for ipad2. Also, dont hv to reply affirmative to the bulk purchase by the school.happypie:
Latest news: ipad3 will be sold in Feb, and price of ipad2 will going down
ipad3 available in spore in early feb (which is just round the corner) or late feb ?
Hope RV management sees our concerns.
To share with you, I bought my iPad1 from eBay a short while after ipad2 was released. It was a brand new 64gb with wifi only. I paid only $580, abt $500 lower than a 64gb ipad2 then.
Personally I think it is worth the wait. In any case, the school is unlikely to launch its use 100% immediately. -

Just do a google search for "ipad3 launch date" and you’ll get some info. here is an example:
The iPad 3 release date has been in the news loop for long. Here’s some more rumor – this time, putting the iPad 3 release date closer to March. Macotakara, a Japanese website dealing with Apple news leaked – or rumored – that Apple is looking for an early February launch and an early March release date for the iPad 3. If that is going to happen, quite a lot of people are going to be happy!
The iPad 3, you would have already read on our website and from various other sources, is a top-notch tablet from Apple, building on the iPad 2. There are quite a lot of interesting iPad 3 features on the charts. Although some of the iPad 3 specs have been logically constructed, based on the upstream supply chain information and sources from manufacturers, most of them are still under the rumors category. Nevertheless, they are very impressive! -

During the session, there was a parent who was extremely rude to the P and kept interrupting. This parent was all out to have a fight with the P. Another parent already got a reply from the P via email, yet she repeated all her questions and was insistent on a satisfactory answer. It was getting very unpleasant, that's why the PTA chairman was so upset. But she shouldn't have said that. -

When an organisation want to implement a programme, it can't possibly change it just because a few individual oppose. That said, however, i agree that it is an art and skill to be able to convince everybody for a new programme that may receive some opposition like this. I guess the school will need to convince the parents and kids how ipad will be useful in implementing some of its programme.
Is there an ID tracking for ipad? if there is, maybe it can prevent theft. maybe, the school can stimulate the students creative and innovative thinking by posting the first project and problem. How can we prevent theft for ipad? -
which session? PTA? I was informed the PTA session for "all year 1 and new members" is on 11 Feb…

I thought so too, and my DS has just submitted the form.
Wonder did we (new members) miss out anything? -
During the ipad2 session with Y1 parents, I would say the atmosphere was still ok. The P spoke and I thought he was quite a nice and understanding parent.
I would say if the school is more consistent in this matter, then parents may have lesser confusion.
During that session, Mr Lee said it was not compulsory and the school would make provision for those who did not buy iPad2 because waiting for the launch of iPad3. However during the class, the form teacher said a different story and said all students must buy and no extra set of device available etc.
I succumbed to this pressure and signed on the dotted line.
