"No, Mrs. Smith, I don't have my homework."

"What?  No, it wasn't the dog.  I got a virus and couldn't read the assignment..."

My school distributed each student a laptop, but textbooks are still heavily used.

I work in a high school and it's completely impossible to get all of the students to return their textbooks at the end of the year. Textbooks are something they don't even want, and still we only get about 80% of them back. I can only imagine how hard it's gonna be to get all of those iBooks back.
