Not everyone in the school system wants one of these chrome-books and still needs Internet access to complete school projects. Also some students are concerned about their privacy and do not want their electronic footprint to be recorded and stored to be viewed at the administration's discretion. Furthermore, if ones chrome-book is broken, or they can't afford to get their chrome-book fixed, they have no way to participate in school projects.
it is so annoying that they track everything we do on the school computers. i just want to use my laptop in peace.
