An adult who surfaces while holding a breath of compressed air from as shallow as four feet can embolize a lung. Not sure if it would be even shallower for a kid.
Providing anyone untrained with compressed gas underwater breathing apparatus is negligent at a minimum. Providing an untrained minor with it is, at a minimum, criminal child endangerment. That's as long as nothing goes wrong. If something does go wrong and a kid is injured or dies, a long felony sentence would most likely be your result.

Students should get more credit, what changed between course start and being told breathe normally going up

A common injury with breathing compressed air at depth is lung overexpansion during ascent. This can happen surprisingly shallow, like 2 meters. And a Spare Air definitely contains enough air to do it.

And being a parent that is a certified diver, you should know the dangers more than someone who isn't.

I once shocked a local pool company that was using random people on scuba to do underwater inspections and repairs who had no training by telling them those people were at serious risk of dying and why. They were just uninformed, and they're good people. They started to use certified divers immediately.
