I certainly understand and respect your reservations about MS products and cloud software in general. I’ve tried over the years to get pretty far away from them. However, for a high school student, there is a lot to manage and juggle, and anything that simplifies the process and reduces the likelihood of things getting lost/misplaced is probably a big help. (How I wish I had had a laptop and OneNote in high school/college!)

In addition, it’s probably that he will be writing and submitting some assignments using other MS products, wouldn’t you think? Most students write in either Word, Pages (Mac OS) or Google Docs. OneNote at least has an advantage for consistent formatting and data handling in and out of Word, Excel and other MS Office programs.
