My second grader's school laptop is a cheap lightweight Lenovo Windows machine. So not ideal, but better than many options. At least it's something I'd be willing to call a PC.

The password situation is just as funny though. His login and password are on a nice printed label stuck right below the keyboard. The login is typical, lastname-firstinitial-middleinitial, but the password is just his 6-digit student ID number. So not only is it the classic "post-it on the monitor" situation, but it would be pretty trivial to log in as any student.

Though so far in elementary school the laptops have been a teaching tool and occasionally a remote learning tool. Somebody couldn't log in and mess with his homework or whatever.
