- mark_l_watson 6y agoI just got an email from the FSF with this. I was skeptical, but it really does point out problems with trusting kids’ privacy rights to closed source commercial systems.
- woofie11 6y agoThe mess here is a bit deeper than that: * PPRA gives us rights to inspect school curricula. We can't, since they're locked up at Pearson. * FEPRA gives us rights to inspect and correct student records. We can't, since they're locked up at Pearson. * FOIA state equivalents have historically given us access to most of everything else. We can't, since they're locked up at Pearson. See a pattern? This is devastating to education research, educational policy-making, and general progress in education. FSF isn't 100% right about the fix, but we do need something like an AGPL or CC-BY-SA broader rights framework for education. (And yes, Pearson is just a stand-in for the broader ed-tech industry).
