> laptops on classes where you need them

Apart from lessons directly about computing and/or technology - of which there may be a handful of hours per week in a regular highschool - the number of subjects which "need a laptop" in high school is vanishingly small.

> politicians use binary yes/no options because they are lazy and/or incapable of working or thinking harder

Lobbyists don't even use binary. They're always pushing their product.

A lot of natural sciences classes benefit from doing experiments. And those are much easier and more rewarding when you've got probes connected to different parts of the experiment logging their data to a laptop.

My old high school used the LabPro/LoggerPro platform for that, and it became a core part of how physics and chemistry was taught. https://www.vernier.com/product/labpro/
