K-12 american student...

I am quite certain there are zero of those devices on my German school neighborhood, or the school on my home district back in Portugal.

And Sweden, and Austria, and there are probably others.

Might be, I am only used to countries where families are still expected to buy their own computers, or get to share one among the family, and school life is still quite analog.

Actually I would love to see a report per worldwide schools, to settle this argument about high adoption of Chromebooks outside USA.

It's really a one-sided argument, I don't need to participate. You assert that this is an America-only phenomenon. Austria and Sweden are just easy examples that falsify your assertion. There is no debate about adoption rates or anything else.

Some people tell it is.

Just because I find some random Chromebooks at FNAC doesn't mean all schools are racing to adopt them.

Thus numbers will be welcomed.
