In all seriousness, this does bring up privacy issues. Since the parent can’t control where the phone goes, they could find themselves listening in on “non-public” conversations of others. Basically, their kid becomes like “the snitch wearing a wire” wherever they go. The other bad thing is that it conditions the young to psychologically accept constant surveillance when they become adults.
I’m not decided on this issue yet.
But yeah. If I had school aged kids today, they would be home schooled. Public school is a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the early 21st.
Yes. Scary.
