<p>“Do you have your child use a lock on thier laptop when it is in their room?”</p>
<p>Each student at my daughter’s school has a locked drawer in the chest of drawers. Whether they use it is a different question. From visits to schools, many students in all the schools leave their backpacks (with, I assume, laptops and ipods inside) all over the place. If they’re at boarding school, you can encourage prudent behavior, but you can’t make them behave prudently. </p>
<p>If you want your child to lock the laptop to the desk, how about sending her to school with a desktop? I’d think a desktop would not “walk” out the door, even if it weren’t chained to anything. </p>
<p>Laundry service is a hot topic. It’s too controversial to touch.
