This is certainly not an issue with iPads, specifically. Students probably spend more time using computers for entertainment and social networking than they do for school, but that doesn't stop teachers from taking their students to computer labs to type essays. Just because something can be used for fun, doesn't mean that it has a place in schooling. Moreover, students very commonly get around the very weak security procedures in place, which, more often than not, prevent students from doing legitimate school work, rather than preventing abuse.
