In Detroit, every single student was given a lap top under the stimulus bill, plus a few big computers for the schools and administrators.

No, it was a special treat for Detroit, where they have about a 25% graduation rate.

Has the ‘refurbished and used’ computer market been saturated with them yet?

I was poor in high school. I got a job and paid for my AP exams. Seems like they were more than $15 in 1976.

IOW they will federalize all exam taking in order to politically adjust the standards.

So if you pay for the exam then you fall out of the extra quota points.
