- bentcorner 3y agoIf it's anything like my child's school district, the point of these devices has nothing to do with learning computing, they're for access to google docs/slides/classroom for homework. For some students it's their only tool for online research. They're centrally managed by the school district's IT department, and I imagine if they are unable to be serviced it may be difficult to keep them managed for both school and software policy reasons.
