What should be the real wake up call is the arrogance of the school district in dictating this whole scenario, down to what the kids can and cannot do off school premises, and the fact that the parents and students just accepted it.
Howard vs. Colonial School District is the Delaware court ruling that started it all.
That is the amazing part, and the part that scares me the most.
The peaceful acceptance of totalitarian power into peoples children’s lives, and not a peep.
In a way I feel for the kids because the adults should have taken the lead on making sure the computer was safe. But, then I would argue the kids and their parents had reasonable expectations to privacy which were callously disregarded by the school and the tech. I’m just glad we homeschool. I don’t need another reason to be paranoid about the safety of my kids...
