Refuse. They can't force you to use it. If they want you to use discord, say you only use matrix. If they want you to use chromeos, say you only use GNU/Linux

A school can absolutely force you to use software?

No? It's not their hardware and even if it was they can't force you to use that hardware. I'm not sure about the laws around it but I do know schools can't force you to agree to contracts (such as EULAs)

Maybe times have changed but when I was in school a decade ago they would just say I don't care and punish you for not doing your work lol, they can absolutely make you use it by virtue of being in charge

That's definitely illegal
