School is effectively work. There should be separate hardware for both. If you have more than one kid they shouldn’t share hardware.
Don’t use your work laptop for anything personal. Don’t set up corporate email on your phone. Don’t log in to your personal iCloud on your work laptop.
You bought your son school supplies. Back in my day my parents donated Kleenex boxes and other classroom supplies. This isn’t really any different. The school owns that device now.

Except for the fact that this Kleenex box can cost costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars and most families don't even own a Kleenex box or they only have one. Just like how it's no problem for most people to buy enough pencils and paper for every member of the household so picking up a little more for school supplies isn't a big deal but if the school expects a kid to use a laptop or a Wacom Cintiq Pro not every parent is going to be able to afford that and nobody is donating them.
