Schools would have to solve bullying before they can give kids computers. How many tablets get smashed on purpose by shitty children?

I hear some schools used to send students home with backpacks full of hundreds of dollars worth of textbooks even though they​ knew every book wasn't going to come back. It's called acceptable loss and is a cost of doing business. You can't deny all students access to resources just because there are a few bad apples.

When I was in school textbooks weren't expensive and they did get destroyed by little future criminals.

I doubt children realise how expensive textbooks are, and the bullied child won't be as worried about a torn book compared to a broken ipad

If a bully smashes an iPad or a Chromebook owned by the school, it's no different to breaking any other school property like a microscope. You summon the parents and bill them.
