> consent has been obtained

Has it been, in this case? If a parent says 'I do not agree to this', then what? Will the school district swap the system out for one that doesn't require end users to waive their legal rights? Has that ever happened when a parent objected to one of these EULAs, even once?

Not to mention, consent can be revoked at any time in the future without reason. Giving consent once does not mean you have consent forever.

The school district should give the student a (locked down) computer. No waiving of legal rights is necessary.
