Being an underclassman will be a bit cooler this year at Sandwich High School, where all freshmen and sophomores will be issued iPads

The school district has purchased 450 iPad 3s at $550 apiece for all the freshmen and sophomores and several staff members, Sandwich Superintendent Richard Canfield said.

"This is the technology generation," Canfield said. "And their world of work will be driven so much by technology. So we saw this an opportunity."

A hundred dollars? I hope that's for the whole class.
