      There’s a pretty wide distinction between navigating a linear OS like Windows and OSX, and a flavor of Linux, especially if the teacher isn’t familiar with it themselves.

        I don’t necessarily agree it would be all that difficult, but either way I can’t think of a more essential skill to be teaching with those chromebooks.
