That's the real issue. Going to school might be required by law, but there should not be a requirement to enter a contract with an arbitrary company in order to successfully participate in the school.
If such a contract is required, it should be between the school and the vendor only, not imposing additional conditions on the student. Including accessibility or the need to have a particular third-party operating system with its own EULA.
After all, the student doesn't need to enter a contract with the caterng company to eat a school lunch.
That's where ideology comes in useful: if the school cannot provide that, it should be forced to create such a system. Given how many schools are there, the resource investment per school should not be that big.
