Glasses/contacts question

K so I went and got a full eye health exam and it was pretty much as I expected I have a slight prescription at mid-distances

Anyways after all is said and done he told me it's the kind of case where I really only "need" glasses for like school etc for seeing the board, I told him I was leaning more towards contacts, so then he told me I should setup another appointment where they will give me a pair show me how to put them in cleaning etc

He was also pushing for me to get a "backup" pair of glasses but that just seemed like a money grab, as if I lost my contacts my vision is not so bad that I need a backup pair of glasses

My question is, is the contact appointment thing a money grab as well? My dad had contacts in the past and these days you can just order your prescription online can you not? Do I really need someone to show me this stuff?

Also what are ppl's thoughts on the disposable contacts? My main use will be for school mainly
