No you need strong oversight. I saw from the inside how the Philadelphia school district squandered their funds on bullshit Apple laptops and computers that were never used, instead of the Linux desktops and kids were actually using daily. Chromebooks are just leasable ewaste.
Absolutely hate Chromebooks for my kids from their school. There’s little control parents have over content/limits and much easier for kids to distract themselves from necessary assignments.
Spyware and ewaste aside, I notice whole generations from my school district are going into college not knowing basic stuff like how to download and install programs using .exe and using Microsoft Word. They also do not know how to type, which is something that was taught when I was in elementary, but apparently isn’t taught to my sister, who goes to the same district.
What if we just give more money directly to schools
Socialism! This guy wants to help other people call the police!
