It's not a given (or obvious) that online tools are superior to books for learning to program. Even if that was objectively true it's trivial for a school to make online resources available to students without external Internet access.
The point the GP was making is schools can provide technology to students but don't have to let them goof off on the Internet. Students definitely don't need Internet access to learn to program. Generations of programmers learned to program quite well without YouTube tutorials.
