no reason not to use it at home, right?

I think it means it's a per-person decision.

I let under 16s use my bandsaw while I'm watching, and I let a few who
are familiar with using it use it without me watching them. But I'm
in a workshop with maybe two or three people in it, not a busy class.
I'd be very reluctant to let anyone use it, in a school class
environment, but lunchtime "woodwork clubs" and the like would be a
different situation.

Your best way to get bandsaw access is to behave yourself and show
that you can be trusted with the tools you are allowed to use.
