I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but schools have made this extremely difficult and if a parent is not a technology professional or has a no- computer accommodation at school (which requires a 504 or IEP), they’ve already lost and likely have no idea what their child is accessing. I have a child who is happy to bypass rules and restrictions as a past time and with firewalls, screen time limits, frequent history reviews, physical lock boxes, and school accommodations he still frequently accesses content that is not appropriate. It requires hours a week to manage as well as effectively being constantly on call while my child is at school to approve time-based access to online resources. I have another child who is a rule-follower and could be given a phone with unrestricted access and who would only use the approved apps and sites without any additional guard rails. At least in our school district (and many others around the US), every student is given a computer that parents have no control over and which has filters managed by organizations with different priorities and values (and competency) than every family’s.
