| If you thought your back-to-school bills were steep, just compare them to parents of Westwood Jr. High School students.

"We were so excited when we got them, it's like Christmas morning," said student Erica Macinnis. Now the ball is in the teachers' court as they hope to put the technology to the best-possible use. |
