even if you have your own laptop, why would you want to wear it out doing the things a decent school should equip you with a computer to do?

Not all schools provide a modern pc, believe me, nothing personal, just saying. I've only been at one middle school in China where they gave a new pc in the ft's flats with 6 months left on the contract. I agree with turnoi on this, a FT needs his own net/notebook and internet access....no good depending on schools.

Good luck
