    I understand the difference between a laptop and PC thanks.

    Now imagine if, and hear me out, one didn’t bring school hardware home so some “creepy IT administrator” doesn’t have access.

    “Save the kids” arguments always fall flat on the face when the solution is as simple as leaving school devices at school.

      Many of the kids affected have no access to another device. The whole reasons schools supply hardware now is because it’s needed to access their educational materials, and it’s massively inequitable to only have students who have money able to develop their skills at home.

        No, they don’t. I am sure the majority have a computer or smart phone at home, and if not libraries exist for a reason.
