Seems pretty judgmental even if I'm not really in a position to weigh in on whether it's a particularly bad idea or not.

If you're in school you will have to write papers. It is objectively a worse experience to do so on a phone than on a full sized keyboard and screen.

A piece of paper and any kind of pencil will do just fine for writing papers. There is no need for a laptop.

Don't know what schools typically require these days. But I generally agree that requiring laptops, especially in younger grades, seems unnecessary.
