I don't think you understand just how locked down modern school laptops are. They don't have access to Google snake, much less something like discord to chat with their friends. I semi-volenteer with my highschools library and I have to make tickets because some kids date/time was wrong and they didn't have the ability to fix it. We don't even have the ability to share PowerPoints anymore. The people that look on them are also the overworked IT guys that have to deal with these BS date/time tickets all day.
Teenagers are crafty and don't have respect for the technology provided to them. I've seen (on multiple occasions) my peers beat the screen of the free laptop repeatedly if it's too 'slow'.
