Why should we just give public schools a pass for providing kids with email addresses and other adult technologies that have no real educational value? Giving devices to kids is not saving on educational costs, and it's not making their backpacks any lighter. Books don't require tech support lines, chat bots, or surveillance tech to keep it all humming smoothly. But worse of all, it's totally outside the proper purview of our education systems. Public schools don't implement, monitor, and protect a new mailbox on every student's property just for school-related mail delivery. Why should they be giving kids email addresses and expecting them to use those addresses? School-issued Apple IDs? I cannot be the only one who reads that with extreme disgust and concern.
