I think thats a very cynical view point which reduces to a platitude an extremely complex issue especially when your evidence primarily appears to concern a smattering of cases among a system which serves millions of children a year.
Technology is very esoteric and almost brand new in a sense. It's been as little as two decades since the advent of schools even having computers.
The fact there are misunderstandings, growing pains, and abuse associated with the system that results should be a foregone conclusion.
The answer isn't to give up on the school system or assume bad intentions by administrators, curriculum developers, or legislators. The only thing that can come of that is an even more broken school system.

Tragedy of the Commons and all that. Maybe it's best for society if we don't give up on the public school system, but for my kid, today, given the options I have, is sending them there the best option? Rarely is the answer yes.
