I was once at a school that went bananas and got every student an iPad.
Many students (often disadvantaged) broke/lost/sold them.
Can't run iPad activities when only 60% of students have one.
Everyone had to retire the iPads.
They say in a lock box for the rest of the year.

Unpopular opinion: most students are bad with tech.

They are BAD with basic tech skills like saving files, typing, and prompting AI.
