L.A. Unified's iPad rollout marred by chaos

October 1, 2013 | By Howard Blume and Stephen Ceasar
At a taco truck near Maya Angelou Community High School in South Los Angeles, senior Ramiro Gonzalez showed off his school-issued iPad tucked into his backpack Tuesday, excited that he still has it. "They're saying we might have to give them back now," he said. "But I hope we get to keep them. " Nearby, Eliazith Lorenzo, a senior at a different school on the same campus, had his iPad taken back only days after receiving it. He'd used it a little in class but said he'd mostly played a soccer game on it at home.
