    So the big issue with this is that they shouldn’t have private communications on their school laptops anyway. It’s the exact same thing with companies not wanting you to use their provided devices for personal reasons.

    They own the device, you’re borrowing it, assume it’s compromised on every level and keep any communication that matters on your own devices.

    So overall, I think this is a good idea
