Good suggestion. If the school is requiring your child to have the chromebook, then they should pay for the thing. They don't have the right to infect any device that your child happens to log in with. So factory reset, don't log in. Then when the school complains that the child is not completing the assignments, tell them that he/she cannot do them unless the school issues a school-owned device.

A better move would be to get your child out of Chicago public schools altogether.

CPS does pay for the thing. OP wanted their child to use a fancier device and they're mad that it falls under CPS' MDM policy. Go get a free device from CPS, take good care of it, and return it once the child graduates.

I went to a Chicago Public School and I resent that comment greatly.
