It doesn't auto-sync without your permission; you have to request that the browser save your password. If you want to save passwords locally without syncing, it's trivial to disable. You can additionally encrypt the passwords with a master password so that Google doesn't have access to them.
Auto-syncing of passwords is a core feature of every modern browser. Safari does it, Firefox does it, Vivaldi does it, Edge does it, Opera does it, and, of course, Chrome does it.
Want control over your child's account? Google has something for that: https://families.google.com/familylink/ https://families.google.com/familylink/
Want the school to manage it for you? That's exactly what G Suite is.
Edit: The problem here is ignorance. It's easy to demonstrate that it's possible to control all the data about which this parent is concerned. Sure, there's data they can't easily control, but they make no mention of that. Your interests, demographics, everything else Google infers about you... you can't fully control that, and that's what parents should be worried about--not password syncing.
