I can't compose at a typewriter the way I do with a word processor. I would have to write it out by hand first. If the typing is just transcription, I could just as well be copying from an AI doc.
If you're doing it in class anyway, and providing typewriters, you might as well provide a locked down Chromebook. Cheaper and better for composition.

While AP tests expected us to dash off essays by hand in a single go I empathize with OP around how useful a tool revision is.
