Laptop uses in the bs classroom

I was wondering if students currently in bs use laptops in the classroom to take notes?

While visiting Miss Porters in the fall, all the girls in the 3rd yr English class had laptops out and were busy with them. At other schools I didn’t notice or don’t remember?

My d takes notes using the “cornell note” format and couldn’t wait to use the computer version at bs.

The school she will attend all students receive a laptop upon arrival so it isn’t a case of some students being able to afford them.

At her current inner city public school, we were told “it isn’t fair for some kids to use computers when some kids cant afford them”, thus all notes are long hand.

I know I did everything the “old fashion” way but over the last few years almost 50% of my college students use them during my lectures.
