My son was the only child at Manchester that didn't have a device and you have no idea how much it has made a difference to him. He now feels a million bucks and I don't know whether you realise how it changes lives.
My son looks up things all the time and shares this with his parents. It is such a buzz for him and when he got the device he said it was the best day of his life and walking on clouds. I told him he needs to look after it for which he does and wipes it with a soft cloth. It took him a little while to get used to it and he had used a chromebook previously at Manchester Street School but they didn't have 1 for every kid. The school decile is high and some kids looked down on you if you don't have the flashest stuffed.
It has made such a difference for him and he felt stink with no device. In regards to internet safety she has a rule in the house and says to him that at any stage mum dad will check browsing history and they don't have any problems. We will always remember who we got a chromebook from.
