How do you feel about children having laptops?

My oldest daughter is finishing up 4th grade now, and several of her classmates take laptops to school, to do research for projects, and to take notes on. These are 9 and 10 year olds.

I have actually considered getting my daughter a laptop this next Christmas, mainly because she has so much homework that involves the computer, but I’m not sure if I’d feel comfortable with her taking it to school.

What do you think about kids that age having their own laptop, and would you, as a parent, be concerned with them taking it to school?
