Idk how much the school landscape has changed since I was last in school in 2018, but back when I was in school people would break their school assigned chromebooks just for shits and giggles. I can't imagine that tv will last for long.
then they'll put a cop next to each one of them and the cop will shoot the kids who come near it. that'll fix it.
Didn't even think of that. Went to a small town school so we didn't have cops or security.
i'm going by hearsay here, i dont know what school is like in the US. i know what a single school was like in about 1998, but that doesnt tell me much about the rest of the country.
but from what i hear, the US has security gates and cops in schools, and the cops regularly brutalize and arrest the kids for random bullshit.
Oh, don't worry, that's only in urban schools.
(hint: urban is a dogwhistle for Black)
That's why here, giving a student a laptop without supervision is unthinkable... Good if the school has computers at all anyway.
