It doesn’t seem that weird, if you are at the tech frontier you must know how bad most of it is.
This seems like a very odd situation. At least in the US, I’m under the impression that enforcing TOS and contracts against children is generally considered, if not impossible, at least riddled with with caveats because kids generally are not considered legally competent to sign contracts. I think (I could be wrong about this, though, layman here), that the parent is often considered “on the hook…,” but I really can’t imagine how that works in this case, where the school is making you let them agree to it. What a mess!
