I would hazard to guess that Google classroom (starting at Kindergarten and continuing through post secondary) software is mostly installed via next-next-finish (i.e. whatever the defaults set by Google are). I'd also assume that these defaults are set to very minimal privacy protection for students.
Having this digital record entrusted to any company that is not under strong privacy controls should be frightening to parents.
School administrators figure the low-cost low-barrier-to-entry is well worth the long term privacy risk to children.
* Fortunately my children were out of school when this became common place - so kindly correct me if I'm mistaken.
- Loughla 2y agoGoogle for education has very thorough and strict privacy controls. They have to, most states have pretty strict laws around that anymore.
- hnpolicestate 2y agoYou are correct but it's worse than that. School admins are full blow ignorant to technological privacy risks for children and themselves. Same goes for teachers if I'm being honest. Just assume their level of understanding is equivalent to the general population. They are ambivalent/confused when you try and explain it.
