Persuade parents?

My girlfriend needs a laptop for school. But her mother doesn't want to buy her one & she can pay me her money, but her mother doesn't allow her to do so. They have a family pc, but her brother hardly leaves her on it & she has nothing but her cell phone for online lessons. What could she do?

Just buy it.

If necessary, she could bring a recommendation from the school for online lessons.

She could clarify with her parents and brother that she can / must at least for the online lessons on the PC and that the brother is not allowed to use the PC for this period.

Sure, the brother will probably take a stand, but education is important.

She could sensibly seek a conversation with mother and brother and explain that she has to attend homeschooling. The three of you should find a compromise.

It should be made clear to this mother that if the girl only learns on the smartphone, her eyes will break over time.

In addition, she should also note that school performance will decline if the girl has no opportunity to study.

I wonder what kind of mother she is who gives priority to her brother.

It is best to inform your teacher who should then speak to the mother.

Because you alone as a student will not be able to achieve anything with the mother.

All the best.
