It's clarified in the actual policy statement [0][PDF]. Particularly: > must not condition participation in any activity on a child disclosing more
information than is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in that activity. > are strictly limited in how they can use the personal information they collect from children. For example, operators of ed tech that collect personal information pursuant to school authorization may use such information only to provide the requested online education service. They're not prohibiting the collection of data, they're strictly limiting what can be done with it. I think this is good middle-ground privacy policy in general.

That may prevent gathering data about, for instance, their performance on other related skills.

How about using their PII to link data sources together? That might be done for the improvement of related systems, rather than to provide the educational service used by the child. I mean it’s arguable, but this could create a real chilling effect.
