LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy gave his back-to-school pep talk to about a thousand administrators and principals Thursday.

The biggest news out of the talk was his pledge to get a tablet computer to every student within the next 15 months.

It's a promise that pleased many in the crowd and many commentators on the Internet.

Do you think Deasy can do it? Should he?
