It's fairly simple in most situations. If it doesn't involve a computer, it's handwritten in class. If it does involve a computer, it's a temporarily offline computer. We have figured out solutions to these problems already.

It may be that offline LLMs will be common in a few years.
That is definitely a potential issue, but so far any text models that run on laptops are tremendously slow. Still, something to look out for.
You forgot “no homework that counts, or a prison- or monastery-like environment where you have no access to any of these technologies for the length of academic term”. No, humans have not ever had a similar problem before, and also some of the solutions to various problems that we have figured out in our past are no longer considered reasonable today.
No homework that counts is essentially a double win.
See the part about “reasonable”. Let’s see how you single-handedly revolutionize school systems worldwide :)
