This could really use up a lot of data if people are connecting to it other than your family.

i haven't considered such a thing, probably because my phone is basically already an ipad (never had an ipad, so i can not say this for certain).

i guess my questions were, what is a hotspot (you say it's just another router), and why would they need to put another router in my house? i already have one, it works for all my stuff already, why do they want me to put a hotspot in my house? that is sketchy to me.
Wait it’s to put a Gubmint router in YOUR HOUSE?!?!? This should be f*cking national news. That’s f*cked up as hell! 100% nefarious.

I'm probably just not going to sign it if that's the case then. if it's only for online learning, then it isn't essential. they have the whole school day and every day that isn't a snowday (which we rarely get here) to teach what is necessary. homework is exploitation anyway.

I'm ready for Christmas break too.
You should be able to access their portals for online learning thru your home’s own PROTECTED wifi router. **** I’d use an Onion router to access a gubmint website in any circumstance. That should be within your rights as a parent to DEMAND. They need to provide access to online materials to students, and it does NOT require planting their electronic device (surveillance) in your house.

Not sure how LPS is working this, but in general a device (often your phone) can broadcast a wifi signal that other people can piggyback on. It can be, but doesn't have to be, password protected. Again in general the more people that use your hotspot there is less bandwidth available for your phone.

Again, not sure what LPS is asking but I am curious.

So smart enough they wanted to be taught by someone other than you or.......I'm assuming the Mrs is neurodivergent as well, the Mrs?

they believe that relationships with friends are only sustained through the continued attendance of school. that's what is important to them. that was what both of their reasons were, "we want to be around our friends".

is neurodivergent like retarded or something?

As I said earlier, your mom was a real leader.

She put her hotspot out there and engaged user friendly software to encourage various hard drives to interface randomly.

That was 33 years ago.
How old are you anyway?

So glad I never sent dna in to one of those websites

I like how people think they are interesting or important enough for the government, especially a school district, to care what they are doing. Calm down. No one cares about your 80's Russian porn addiction.

bro, are you drunk? not a judgement, just hard to understand what you're playing at.
No trouble at all, I do not like your posting.

Your latest offered easy hanging fruit, I swung.

I actually think I may be your father, that really has me over the top.

Your mother, how could anyone possibly know.

I truly am sorry son, but she was a hot spot” before we called them that.

How tall are you?
Do you look like me ?

Your mom showed me 33 years ago.
She had most user friendly software to encourage, and deliver.

How old are you anyway?

Regardless, you are old enough I will not pay child support.

I am sorry.

You realise just how far your mother had gone to even consider sex with me.

What a hot spot she was though.
Oh the memories.

bro, be serious.

OK

I did not **** your mom, I was trying to get under your skin. It did not work. It is suprising anyone actually did. Your presence here is disingenuous, generating posts having nothing to do with the purpose of our board.

I did not have sexual relations with your mom , but imagine she had one incredible hot spot set up to engage any local hard drives.

Your mom, try to get her under control.

I got that, but why? If your kids need access to the internet due to some LPS shite, they can get it via your internet access. Sure as hell should not be asking you to put a hotspot in your home. Any chance you can block out any personal identifying information and post the documents they sent to you? I'm really getting interested in this.

Thanks!

From reading that doc it appears to me that LPS is offering internet access to that small segment of their students who do not have internet access at home, and that internet hot spot they offer would be for the purpose of providing school-related internet access for education-related purposes. If you have internet access at home that your children can use, feel free to ignore that document.

The means of LPS giving your home a hot spot appears to be a device that they would give you to put in your home that provides internet access. So they would give you a gizmo that you put in your home. That gizmo provides access to the internet via a Chromebook that LPS apparently provides to your children.

Some can infer that what LPS is doing is trying to aid in the educational development of their students to that very small subset of families who do not have internet access. I won't guess what their motive is, but you DO NOT have to do what the document offers as long as you can provide your children internet access FOR THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATIONAL CRITERIA (online study guides, prep tests, etc) that LPS wants to give them.

Personally, I think it's a bit nanny-state on the part of LPS to assume that a family would not have internet access but whatever.
