It sounds like any Internet use by children in schools would be a legal issue, then. If IP addresses are considered personally identifiable information subject to consent policies, then ordinary web logging is data collection that a child can not consent to.
A more direct example would be in Chrome/Firefox/etc automatically checking for updates, which is the equivalent of what Audacity describes in the linked post.

If IP addresses are considered personally identifiable information subject to consent policies, then ordinary web logging is data collection that a child can not consent to. It's not going to happen for all kinds of reasons, but there's a lot that could be said in favour of prohibiting _unsupervised_ Internet access to children 12 and under.
