As it is, the XO doesn't fit in any Indian curriculum, so there is no
need to have one computer for each child and the best way to use it,
at least in India, is in computer labs. That is what we do in
Saint-Anthony School. However, there is a sticker with a number on
each machine and one child is always using the same machine. Times to
times, children are also allowed to take the machine home overnight.
Before reacting stupidly ("violation of the project's fundamental
principle" !), I would suggest you become more aware of the local
realities !
