How can the schools just allow any free product to be installed in their systems simply because someone offered them said service or product for free. These (test subjects) are our kids. There should be boundaries set forth by the law not to allow any said system or service to collect any data on kids under a given age.

I guess as long as someone offers security - it’s ok to disregard privacy.

Ahh yes, the good old protect the children argument.
It is funny though, because both sides use the same "think about the children" argument. One side: surveil them for their safety, and the other: do not surveil them for their safety. I omitted the reasons, just merely wanted to point out how both sides use the same argument. Personally I am in favor of less surveillance of everyone, not just kids.
