  I don’t think the school district is very keen on wiping their laptops and installing your own OS on them.

    I don’t think school districts have any business renting-out years-old Chromebooks full of spyware for amounts that could buy a newer laptop, but here we are.

    Couple of weeks-ago, I had to basically trick my daughter’s Chromebook into caching a lesson at a resolution high enough for her to tell that her snow-day packet’s math problems actually were part of the lesson. There was no option to download the video or watch it on another device(also tried, even casting it to a TV wasn’t available).

    … but yeah, what the district and Google are cool with is super-important. They don’t even use books.
