So, your entire tech support will be inundated with undoing scams and ransomware perpetrated by malicious search ads, for one.

Chrome is outright terrifying to have on a computer if you don't push down about four pages of enterprise policies to lock it down.

The idea of letting employees have administrative access to PCs that sensitive corporate data or childrens' personal info is on is downright terrifying.

But letting them access that same data on their personal computers and laptops is fine?

If banks can let you access your account information on non-bank owned machines and parents can access their kids personal info from their phones I think we can manage a fleet of untrusted endpoints.

Yes, because the school district is not legally liable for parents doing stupid things outside of school grounds, but it is legally liable for its employees' conduct.
Many tens of billions of dollars are stolen via those untrusted endpoints every year, mostly targeting at risk groups like senior citizens.
