but it was a thing before covid is what you’re not understanding. every student had a chromebook years before the lockdowns. it was just implemented later for your children’s school. you are correct about the terms of services, but correlating to covid just makes the argument weak

what you arent understanding is that not everywhere was like what you experienced lol. In my neck of the woods yes there were chromebooks before it, but because of covid the schools in my district went all in on chromebooks. That part is no matter, the problem is an entire generation of public schools kids are vendor lockin to google now. Not to meantion a whole generation of kids that have no concept of a PC only a locked down glorified browser

yeah, we spent the whole day setting it up and started using it for everything then on. never thought anything of it until now, it’s weird having a company control every school that way

I'd bet in the future social credit score will be relative to computer use during primary school

okay well, all i know is that it was a big thing happening to all the schools around me in 2016/17

it belittles the argument on the privacy and safety of the schools i the usa by just blaming covid tbh. i understand it caused numerous of issues, but it’s always the scape goat for people to blame everything on so they don’t have to think hard for a few minutes.

covid was just the excuse for why it was necessary to put a chromebook in every kids hands, before that every classroom only had about 5-10. Now GOOGLE has pure vendor lockin, because every kid now also has a google account. ANd we all know those terms of service allow for full tracking of everything that account does. Including searches!! its terrible thing to have happened.
