Rant: My kid's school assigned a project that requires Instagram

So my 10yo's 5th grade teacher assigned a project where kids have to create an Instagram account and post daily updates. DAILY. An Instagram account. For 10 year olds. I'm trying not to be the parent who argues with teachers but this feels absolutely backwards. My kid isn't even supposed to have social media until like 13 according to most guidelines, and the school is literally forcing it. Am I overreacting or is this genuinely insane?
