In the same area, both my hometown and the district I attended had 1:1 Chromebook policies. They also had Orwelian programs to allow teachers to see what was on student's screens (!) and later a list of recently closed tabs (!!).

I think as a child your mind is pretty easily distracted ( looking at you IT classes of my time where 90% + of the class would be sneaking on miniclip every time a teachers back was turned )

It's pretty essential if we're going to have those connected devices in the classroom there is a way to control it.

I would prefer rigorous blocking over teacher control - but reasonably I think it's kind of necessity in a classroom setting.
