My daughter's school does everything on iPad, and it's a horrible idea.
They're managing them all as BYOD so kids can install what they want
(since it's their iPad). iMessage works over wireless, so they can
message during school (but messaging on your phone is a no-no...). And,
once they start writing essays, you're spending at least $100 for a
keyboard.

Chromebooks seemed like a much more affordable, more versatile, more
controllable solution.
