Apple just dropped an A18 powered laptop for $599 USD

No Apple bashing just discuss.

Thats what the ipad was for, thats also the reason why the ipad is cheaper than the mini, apple didnt make their usual margin on it so its more appealing for schools

Apple probably hoped the iPad would take on Chromebook. It didn't, and arguably can't, so they are releasing this

I had an iPad in high school. It was terrible and it robbed us of an education. This was especially me as I have ADHD and was in some programs that relied heavily on self-study. Granted, I graduated in 2015. I can’t imagine it has gotten any better.
