Laptop Check Out

I am concerned, as I am sure you are as well, about the number of students that are on the down and ineligible lists. The next thing that concerns me is that the laptop check out list seems to mirror those two lists. It is my thought that the privilege of checking out a laptop should be earned and we should reward those students who have passing grades. What are your thoughts on eliminating check out for students who are on the down and the ineligible lists? What complications do you see that this procedure might cause? Will this affect your classroom projects? Are you in favor of this procedure? Why or why not?
