Every time I hear somone talk about "indoctronation," I reply that if teachers could indoctronate students, they would do their homework and get to class on time.
I wish I wasn't required to stand for the pledge. (I'm a teacher. State law requires everyone to do it every day.) When I asked what the consequences would be if I didn't, I was basically told I'm welcome to exercise my 1st ammendment right, but I get no help if parents complain. I'm more help to students inside the classroom than out... but I absolutely never call out any kid who chooses not to. I just happen to be making coffee during that part of class most days.
I've seen some mini PCs by GMKTech that are small form factor and can be reasonable priced. Anyone have experience with those? I'm in a similar position to OP.
