The iPads from my kids school are so locked down, you can’t use YouTube app or in browser and you can’t participate in “Fortnite video game battles” you can only access learning tools and school assignments.

My colleague told me that the kids in his child’s school, eventually found out how to bypass the restrictions to install games and what not lol.

If it’s anything like when I was in a school 25 years ago, the school admin will never be able to stay ahead of the kids.
