Get the cost of the Chromebook, some money for your time, and then donate the Chromebook to the school since its deadweight at this point.
My guess is that no one from Dept. of ed will show up and you'll get a summary judgment.
- MrWiffles 5y agoGood idea; IMO, probably the only way the OP is likely to get any "justice" (if you can call it that) here...
- mhb 5y agoUnless someone from HN is mediating, it seems pretty unlikely that there will be an award for the value of the computer in small claims court.
- steffanA 5y agoThe Chromebook isn't ruined. Just do a factory reset and do not log into the school account. I know it doesn't help the op's kids who needs the CB for school, but there is nothing being done that a factory reset can't fix.
- iso1631 5y agoLooks like you read it the way I did originally -- that even a factory reset still leaves the GoGuardian software on the machine. From the gist of comments of people more familiar with chromebooks than me, it actually looks like the factory reset does completely wipe the machine (as you'd expect from "factory reset") and there's no software installed that survives this process (other than the default chromebook stuff)
