My public school -- that my children are basically required by law to attend, remember -- is badgering me to sign a consent form so they can have Chromebooks.
This fight is a lot fucking larger than mere individual boycotts!
And my kids school requires every parent to have a Google account to track progress and share information.
What happens if you refuse?
Mine too, so I do agree with you the issue is larger.
But I believe it can start with individual boycotts.
cant you give your child a cheap laptop, or they require thier inhouse shitty ones, use only?
They require that the kids use the Chromebooks and use Google accounts.
At the highschool I went to, there was some standardized testing (act, ap tests) done in locked down software installed on the chromebooks. Like instead of logging into your user, it was before login with no browser or anything. It sometimes let you have desmos and a small place to take notes.
