> Her school/friends use PowerPoint
I'm amazed parents are still paying for MS office licenses... Google Docs had completely taken over my college in the late 2000s and has been the standard at all the companies I've worked at since then. Plus I thought Chromebooks were pretty standard in schools now.
What's pushing parents towards a paid product over a free one that works better for a student use case?

Office 365 is free for students and has the same collaboration features you’re describing.
Do they no longer require a school email address with a school part of Microsoft's program? Are middle schools handing out .edu emails now?
Edit: a web search confirms that they still have those requirements so I remain confused
