Does my child need an iPad for school?

Seems completely logical to me. Go for it.

My 4 year old will be starting kindergarten next year. Should I buy him and iPad so he can stay on top of his papers and assignments? Will the school's IT dept. make sure he can connect to the school's wifi hot-spot or will I have to set it up myself? I plan to keep in touch with him during the day via Twitter.

Ahh Kids these days huh, don't forget parental control, don't want a bondage craze going around kindergarten.

No. Get him started on open source stuff early. I really regret that I learned first on a closed source platform and have to play catch-up now.
