Lois Beckett, The Guardian; Under digital surveillance: how American schools spy on millions of kids
"The new school surveillance technology doesn’t turn off when the
school day is over: anything students type in official school email
accounts, chats or documents is monitored 24 hours a day, whether
students are in their classrooms or their bedrooms.
Tech companies are also working with schools to monitor students’ web
searches and internet usage, and, in some cases, to track what they are
writing on public social media accounts.
Parents and students are still largely unaware of the scope and
intensity of school surveillance, privacy experts say, even as the
market for these technologies has grown rapidly, fueled by fears of
school shootings, particularly in the wake of the Parkland shooting in
February 2018, which left 17 people dead."
