They probably got funding for the Chromebooks specifically, and possibly a deal with the manufacturer.

Nope. My daughter is going to high school next year (she’s 11) and I have to buy her a Chromebook to take with her - it’s compulsory. I live on government disability benefits! Not to mention her uniform is about $1000 dollars. It’ll be a lean Xmas for us this year, and next year when my other daughter will be starting high school too.

That is such a horrible burden on parents! I thought my $400 book fees in the 80s were bad. How stressful for you and your family!!
