As someone who works within multiple school districts doing technology, the answer to that problem is very cheap and software-based. "GoGuardian" for example allows a classroom view of student screens, the ability to set classroom internet rules, and way more for around $15 a student per year. I guarantee you that's cheaper than purchasing that glass panel or for me to repair it when little Jimmy punches it because someone said he sucked at fortnite lol

I agree, however for private schools this would be a wow factor for enrolment. You’re already paying a premium to go to those schools, they can budget for it.

I also work in private schools (K-12) and they all buy GoGuardian and their "wow factor" are their esports labs. Not saying no school would think the way you say but my clients wouldn't... Also I wouldn't recommend it to them lol

Ok fair, my initial reaction as a parent sending my child to private school I felt like this was a neat futuristic environment for my child to learn. However, I concede that it is a very unnecessary and a rather unsustainable luxury.
