I'd argue that they can still learn typing

most chromebooks are touch screen only

google docs

indoctrination to the rent seeking and privacy invading lifetime cloud scam

navigating the web

with chrome, teaching them to accept all the forms of enshittification are normal that the chrome browser does not protect against but even support

That said, my kid is about to go to college and hasn't used a chromebook since 6th grade. I don't currently know anyone whose kid has either. They're just not used for schools much anymore. Their huge selling point was simplifying the OS support and battery life, but her current Lenovo lasts all day already as do most normal laptops at this point and GPO's and AD are a things.

didn't know that, interesting
