Is it just us or did summer swing by faster than usual this time around? With August just around the corner, "Back to School" is the thing on everyone's mind. Well, if you're a student, parent or teacher at least.

It's almost time to swap bathing suits for books. And while you don't have to complete any tests or do any homework quite yet, we think now's the optimal time to get your mind juices flowing with our quick, 8-Question "Back to School" Survey. Don't worry: No matter the answer, we'll give you an "A+" anyway.

Students should not be required to purchase expensive tablets. Providing tablets for student access could begin in middle school. Elementary school kids lose books often- what do you think would happen to a tablet?

It would depend on the student's needs, but forcing them to stay entirely in group instruction long after they know the material will only get them to hate learning. 40% of geniuses drop out of school. How does that serve society?

Let's learn how to read, write, do sums, and learn how to use a library before we turn the little darlings into nothing but.., but.., but.., blobs sitting behind a desk depending on someone else writing a program that you are using to gain the information. Might be nice to remember the people that wrote the program(s) knew how to do all of the above.

I'd say as soon as your library stocks 'em, I mean we have Kindles and Think pads in our library :-P
