Our daughter goes to public school.
She is required to have a laptop, she is required to have a Google account, and must have internet during school hours.
We cannot attend class with her - this is illegal.
The amount of sh*t a kid can get into using only *.google.com domains is nuts.
And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.
- whatshisface 3y agoIsn't that a problem with the school, for allowing your kid to do dangerous things when you're not allowed to watch? They could just as well be giving your child unsupervised access to dangerous chemicals while the chemistry teacher is absent from the classroom, or letting them play in a woodshop.
- pyuser583 3y agoThat what I thought at first. Google is falsely marketing its products. YouTube Kids has extremely toxic stuff on it. Google Classroom allows extremely toxic stuff as well. Google markets this as safe for kids. It’s not. That’s false marketing. It’s a lot like Chrome Incognito. It doesn’t help much with privacy, and last I checked Google was getting I some kind of trouble over that. Google certainly deserves condemnation for this.

- whatshisface 3y agoIf Google is falsely marketing Chromebooks as safe, aren't you agreeing the school should not require your kid to have one?
- pyuser583 3y agoSorry, not sure how Chromebooks got involved. The issue is Kids YouTube and Google Classroom, two child specific products. Yes I’m agreeing the school should not be doing this. My relationship with the public school is mandatory. It’s a state institution. Even if she went to private school or was homeschooled, she would still receive some services through the school district, as she is special needs.
