Upvote. My kids use Chromebooks as well, and we were asked to buy them ourselves, but I always assumed they would be heavily locked down and monitored. We bought very cheap ones and they are only used for school work at school. They take forever to boot up and load google docs, but once there they are fine. The kids know the teachers can see and read everything and anything that happens on that machine. I kind of assumed they would be dropped or beaten up, and was expecting to buy a new one every tear, but the eldest is still in perfect condition after 2 years. Quite proud that they are looking after them.
