Sharing an iPad feels weird to me. Denmark middle class chiming in

Haha, was about to write the same.
I know a number of poor US families (on food stamps/WIC) who have a tablet per child. I think it is the norm, in the US.

A cheap android tablet only costs a couple hundred bucks. That's just not that much, even for a poor family.

And that buys years of 'childcare'.

Also shared tablets don’t really work as kids homework devices.
