Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

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.
