Older iPads donated to Teach for America participants

I think this is great - I'm sure they were much appreciated.

This is pathetic. Apple is a massive company, making huge profits, with a giant cash reserve. They have benefitted from research done by the academic community for years, and educational institutions are one of their biggest, most reliable customers. Yet Apple has virtually no history of significant philanthropy. Giving away obsolete iPads to these heroic teachers is perverse. Why not give the the best iPads, and computers? These bright, young, altruistic teachers are making very modest salaries and deserve support. Apple should step up and give them real support - new equipment, and equipment for their classrooms.

I'll bet real actual teachers could use them too, not just people touring the profession for a couple years to burnish their resumes.
