    The schools give each kid a Chromebook at the beginning of the year. So it’s the only computer access these kids get.

    Plenty of kids have access to desktops and laptops through their parents. Libraries also have computer labs with traditional PCs.

    There isn’t instruction on how PCs work on a base level in my kids middle school

    I’ve never heard of a school that provided middle school computer education outside of small elective classes, and even those only in wealthier districts.

      I don’t know many of my son’s peers, who do have a pc at home.

      I had computer instruction in middle school while attending a title 1 rural school. Idk

      Maybe both things are true. Wasn’t trying to argue or “be proven wrong” just stating why many children may only know Chromebook use, and it’s not thier fault
