Laptop for lessons other than English?
In my first year of secondary school I used a laptop in English, History, Geography and Religion because my writing was difficult to read. I'm now in my second year and I only use it English because that's the only one of my teachers that's stayed the same from last year. But I don't know if I should ask to start using it because my crush broke her hand earlier this year so she had to use one as well but I'm worried that the other teachers will think I'm copying her. My English teacher hasn't told me to get a laptop that much recently but the SEN department are very strict and they will point out that you haven't collected a laptop for ages if you begin using them less frequently so this is 2 main questions
1- Should I start using a laptop in other lessons?
2- What should I do about English if that's probably the lesson I'll need it for most and the teacher hasn't told me to get one for ages apart from when there's a test. Even for practice tests now, I do the work in my book, but I would like to use it as frequently as i did at the start of this year so I don't get a scolding from the SEN department?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
School has changed since I went. When my kids where in HS is when the school started a computer lab and began requiring in some classes that the students do their reports and papers on computer so the teachers have it easier to read, not having to decipher handwriting. Not all families could afford a desk top computer let alone lap tops. So the computer lab was available. I would suppose some classes are now set up in HS and college for students to all use computers or to bring if there is space for one.
The way you describe it is that laptops aren't necessary but its possible to use in class if a teacher has requested that you do. Unless there is a rule that no laptops allowed in class unless having special permission for any exceptions, then you'd have to get the okay from the teacher. Since this is years later than when my kids were in school, I would think that computer use both in college and HS have increased. If I were you, I would ask the teacher the same thing you asked here and find out if you can gain use of a school computer. If not, find out if you can bring your own, and find a way to earn the money to purchase your own. If not requiring a fancy graphics card to play high end games, you can get lap tops for very reasonable prices if you purchase your own.
