He is using his Windows 10 laptop for that, as he is attending school from home. It gives us much more insight into how our son is doing, and we can actually see what he turns in, and can communicate to his teachers using a parent account. However, due to COVID-19 forced changes, my son's school district has switched to a system called Schoology, which (in my humble opinion) is vastly superior than Google Classroom for parents. We still have that Chromebook, and although it is a little dinged up (he dropped, it sat on it, you name it LOL) but still works! Up until this school year, the majority of their work was in Google Classroom, which basically means the Chrome web browser, and anything, including your MacBook Pro, that can run Chrome, can use Google Classroom. At the time, he was toting it back and forth from home and school, and we did not want him to have an expensive machine that he might drop. I think we paid around $280 for it at Best Buy.
I am a parent, and we purchased an inexpensive Chromebook for my son when he was in Middle School (grades 6 - 8, he is a Junior now).
