Yes, that's the sort of rule a school district makes once there's a minimum standard of technology access. I'm talking about school districts with large numbers of kids without those resources.

Well, you should probably fix that, but bureaucratic facism doesn't seem particularly relevant to whether something is useful for learning.

The US is only a small potion of the world.

It’s a sign that more places than 1 may also have this requirement. You don’t have to make it a thing.

I ditched high school prodigiously as a kid.

I imagine if I were a kid now-a-days, but with the same hobbies I had when I was a kid for real i'd probably be deep-faking a wobbling face image pretty fast.
