          I’m surprised everyone having laptops and using them for school isn’t standard. It’s been standard when I was in school here in Norway a decade ago

            My freshman year of HS my tiny ass school (maybe 60 kids) all got iPads for the year

            28 were broken, most smashed somehow, by the end of the year (I knew the IT guy outside of school and was shocked at this)

            I’m not surprised at all given how poor many districts are/must be

      I find school issued devices problematic personally.

      The school gets to monitor your kids constantly and they control what gets censored. Not to mention it can stigmatized low income families.
