Green High School Students Need More Than Chromebook Insurance

If you are a parent of a student attending Green High School in Ohio, you might wonder why you have been asked to pay for insurance on Chromebooks. If it's like other districts, the cost is around $25 a year. Chromebook breakage rates are around 10%, making it a roulette game of sorts, especially if your kid has the device for four years.

Kids don't necessarily want to break Chromebooks. In fact, most students like them. But kids do grab them by the cover (so do I) and set things on top of them. They dislike bulky carrying cases, especially if the cool kids don't use them.

Apparently, staff members at Green High School have worked to fix some Chromebooks. That's a side job that overworked teachers probably appreciate a lot, but it's not their primary duty at the school. But you don't want to pay $100 over four years on a $203 device that will be obsolete by the time you pay your insurance on it.

How about Cranium by Educabana, which is a hard case cover that is permanent and protects against the leading cause of Chromebook failure--the flexible screen? For less than $20, you can turn that 10% chance of breakage into something more like 2%. Better yet, ask the school board to order them for all the Chromebooks and drop the insurance, only fixing the few that still break.

Wait, there's always more. Unlike all other Chromebook covers or cases, this one can be used as a whiteboard because of its white aluminum that surrounds the stiff PVC core. If you're interested in this innovative new Chromebook product, use the contact form on this page or check it out on Amazon.
