Hello, I apologize if this was already answered, I did search but couldn't really find specifically answer to my questions
On the apple website it says
"Available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels.*" and then the "*" just says something about limits
We have two kids - one kinder garden and one in first-grade. With the whole covid and remote classes, my wife spends lots of time with kids making sure that they stay on top of everything. Most of the materials and home works are nowadays online (seesaw), not to mention "zoom" conferences.
I need to get some more devices. One old macbook and an old ipad is not enough for us at this point.

So … am I eligible for a discount? I am not a parent of a collage student (first part of apple's statement), and my wife is also not a formal "homeschool teacher" (second part) … but she does spent hours in a week teaching obviously.

Does apple verify in any way if buyer is a formal homeschool teacher? Do I just go to education version of store, buy devices and that's it?
Oh, and we live in US (NYS) if that makes a difference.
thanks!
 
I would say ignore anything you read on Apple-focused Q&A forums and simply ask Apple. You're already a borderline case.

After all, they are the ones who decide -- not us.
