It's sad to see that happening, and those big corporations are to blame. They make out like bandits and to them that's all that really matters. I know in some school districts here in Orange county each student has a device but there is enough funding to continue the programs and keep them working. Most public schools don't have that advantage. And the way things are going here I'm not sure how much longer it will last, debt is racking up and the bill comes due at some point.
Public education is a thankless job for educators, and the better teachers end up in private schools. Public school students are the one's who suffer in the end...

That is very true. Right now the big issue is the AI boom or whatever is causing it driving up the price of storage and RAM. Districts who are in the process of getting ready to upgrade their fleet are looking at price increases of $100 per device or more. It's going to reach a breaking point like you said.
