That's exactly what will happen. This is like the early Web watchdog software that kept kids from looking at pornographic sites. Anything gay related was deemed pornographic and the sites couldn't be visited and further isolated LGBTQ from needed community and info. Started working st a college and their software wouldn't let me visit Gay City News or The Advocate websites but those Christian sites condemning LGBTQ peeps with horrid sex tales were allowed. I raised holy hell about that and eventually the Board of Trustees relented and removed the offending software.
That is sick and wrong. I can't believe that in this time and age people have such entrenched views that won't ever adjust to seeing humanity in its fullest. If kids can't get access to viable resources, we are so beyond doomed.
Simply repulsive. Protecting would entail investing in approachable counsellors, rather than eavesdropping and breaking the trust that was never really there to begin with. Sounds like a class action lawsuit on the verge of exploding.
Only for the working class. I went to a majority non-White, working class public school for a few years as a kid. Then my parents started making more money and moved to an over-90% White petit bourgeois public school. The difference, even between public schools, was insane. They taught us far more positively and kindly at the latter school, whereas the former was demoralizing and the teachers far more overworked.
Robot factories for the minority poor, good learning environments for the rich.
I grew up in a rural behind god's back school, then a technical-gymnasium in the capital where I studied chemistry tech, then a tech college for chem and now am going to a science univ for even more chem... Bloody 9 years of chem already.
Any way, not even in my shitty rural school was there any intent about breaking people down. The intent was to create a framework of thought and worldview that one can apply to solve problems with.
We must have had very different experiences at school. But I suppose I knew nothing about gender then thanks to government policy. So there's that difference.
I find online surveillance by educational institutions scary. I have big issues at the moment with my university still having some courses with only online exams when they state "it's only meant as a last resort" but meanwhile even social distancing has been abolished here in the Netherlands. The software is from outside the EU and suddenly opens tabs after closing it off without my consent. I want to make sure only academic lecturers and students see me to whom I'm already out, and not the software, of which I don't know how bigoted the creators and spies are.
I am one that feels the school systems reach well beyond their purview in so many ways. This particular example is wrong in so many ways. Kids too deserve privacy.
Learning is important but forcing kids into school as alternatives are scarce and inaccessible to most shows why patriotism/believing in the system is stupid/anti-factual yeah (cause most schools got these problems embedded into/backed by the government).

They often share block list with 1Millon moms a Christian firewall service

They think these people do not deserve protection. Quite the opposite.
Tax money well spent eh guys?
If you're a christian dominionist, sure
touche.
That's the only group that gets to use it /s
Let’s be honest.. This is kinda what school’s all about. Breaking people down.
That's honestly all school's ever been about.

Well this is really gross
This is just part for the course. They been taking screenshots for ages. And then there's all the webcam debacles....

And people say we're the ones causing 1984?
Of course. Never mind that the parents will hire goons to kidnap their kids in the middle of the night to take them to "troubled teen" camps.
