Not really, but it's almost impossible for a school to pull that off and still get the support needed. Don't forget that new Chromebooks are dirt cheap, after all discounts probably in the 100-200$/€ range. It's (sadly) just not worth it salvaging them.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
