The idea of giving kids laptops with unsupervised internet access to use for in-person school sounds really weird to me. At the very least you'd think the teacher would be able to see and control their screen to stop them from misusing the computers during class. I remember that functionality was available in a computer lab when I was in high school and the teachers would absolutely use it if you were off task (but if you finished your work early they generally didn't care if you browsed Wikipedia). That does explain who the target audience for Chromebooks is though. Most tech illiterate adults seem to prefer Windows or Mac for their own machine, in my experience.
