my partner is an elementary school teacher and all of the kids get Chrome books in 2nd grade. If one of them is looking at "pictures of girl b00bs", alerts go off (it's a program called GoGuardian I believe! Look it up)
Also, one day, one of the kids who got in trouble for looking at "b00bs" and other inappropriate items, they also looked at "cool dragon pictures" and "web games" for most of the day instead of remote learning..
I'm not hating on the kids, obviously.. but I would think the school would be able to block a lot of web access (that is also a double-edged sword, but restrictions would serve a bigger purpose for the more impressionable kids than adults). I also wonder if "cashless society" and other NWO plans like this dictate the need for all younger generations to be indoctrinated with technology & the internet from very early age in order to ensure useful drones (and build up addictive hormonal responses, and general compliance with social norms)
It is no joke though.. depending on the school district & state regulations I have a feeling there is a lot more surveillance than just which boys are trying to look at boobs
And this is all part of a much bigger picture IMO

I think it is just simple marketing by chromebook, just like apple did with the schools in the 90's. I'm sure monitoring also has something to do with it, cuz when I refused the chromeboook they kept trying to get us to take one anyways like a used car salesman trying to get a sale. I have been saying for years due to overcrowded classrooms that online learning is the way to go, I hope it continues after the virus.

The other issue with mostly electronic is that it eliminates the paper trail. When you kid isn't bringing home tons of papers for you to see what the lessons are, you have little to no way of knowing what the work being done is or how much.
It's hard to know exactly what ideas are being put into your kid's head that you may or may not have to deprogram every day.

That's a good point. It could lead to indoctrination.

And they have camera and microphone too.
...and I've always wondered...
I keep a piece if tape over the camera just 'cause
does anyone know if plugging in an external microphone jack with the 2 wires twisted together will disable the microphone?

Disable it in the device manager. Twisting the wires will short it out and probably toast your motherboard.
Man, I hope you were being sarcastic.

Still the TV is ultimately under your control as the parent. You can see what they're watching and take pains to guide their thinking about it.
