Where? Fuck you, that's where. You want your kid to be on time for their activities? Surrender all privacy, because what are you going to do? Keep your kid out of sports and clubs?

It's not just keeping a kid out of sports and clubs... some of these schools have their entire platforms built on microslop technology. It's either they surrender all privacy of their child by keeping them in school, or take your kid to hillbilly high where they use blackboards to teach white history. at least that's how it is in Texas lol
“Modern parenting”? Fuck you.
Middle class parents are the ones slapping Gps trackers on their kids wrists. Poor kids are the lucky ones as they may not yet have a digital leash due to cost? I'm sure googles next academic intrusion will move from Chromebooks to smart watches for PE.
I seriously can't believe how common it is to see 9-y/os chatting on a voice call every 15 minutes with their parents. I'm on block a. I'm going to playground b. I'm with Johnny. JFC and their parents likely had exposure to "higher education".
Higher education =/= tech literacy, as any enterprise IT worker can tell you.
That's something that a parent can easily opt in or out of. This article is about the normalizatiin of data collection through portals that are the expected interface for many aspects of education. It can be very challenging to fight the tsunami of school and activity based digitization.
I imagine an image of the Teletubbies vacuum with a label on its nozzle reading 'apps', a label on its hose reading 'advertisers', and a third label on the tank that reads 'data brokers'.
