Sounds like the "online Math textbook" was the main problem. How on earth would that not be compatible with an iPad. What the hell was it?

The textbook was the big red flag that this was all a theater production. "See how modern we are, all the kids have iPads"

It likely was Flash-based. All I know is it didn't work in iPad Safari.

My kids didn't use them for much else other than games at home.

Probably Flash. Or may be some JavaScript using mouse or keyboard events not provided by iPad.
