Depends on what. The most common thing i see is that the kids mess with either the keyboard and or the screen, which you’re basically forced to scavenge another broken Chromebook for because the replacement parts are pretty much like half the cost of the chromebook
If it’s something simple then yea I agree, but kids are menaces against their chromebook so damage usually ends up being on the extreme side.
