Do you have a computer?

[tomboytown]

Does your child’s school(senior) assume that you have one?

Our schools expect students to have access to a computer at home. For those that do not, they can use school ones at lunchtime, or the local library is open three days a week after school.

DD's secondary and sixth form schools both assume access to a computer/laptop for typed work. There was computer access for those who didn't/couldn't at home in the library and study areas before and after school, in study periods (sixth form) and at lunch/breaks.
They also assume internet and email access - so computer, laptop, tablet, phone - for links to revision materials, homework, etc.

Yes, dp and I both have laptops (that sit largely unused) and both senior school aged dds have MacBooks and now a printer as we seem to have to print off our own pro formas for everything now. School cutting costs and passing them into parents!!
Schools do presume children have access to all this stuff at home now. All homework is set online and a lot of it is completed electronically and submitted that way too.

The school assumes we have a laptop or pc, an I pad and printer.

We need to get the first two fixed.

State primary

Trying to get info from internet, type onto word document on phone, print( no ink) spend half hour looking for ink

My laptop doesn’t work, mums computer in the shop

Would the school have accepted a note from me saying, sorry computer broken?!
