Yeah it’s a good thing homework doesn’t exist.
Comment on School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.
Arkouda@lemmy.ca 2 months agoI understand the difference between a laptop and PC thanks.
Now imagine if, and hear me out, one didn’t bring school hardware home so some “creepy IT administrator” doesn’t have access.
“Save the kids” arguments always fall flat on the face when the solution is as simple as leaving school devices at school.

Good thing poor people have access to public libraries. I know from experience.

Many of the kids affected have no access to another device. The whole reasons schools supply hardware now is because it’s needed to access their educational materials, and it’s massively inequitable to only have students who have money able to develop their skills at home.

They have to take it home for homework.

No, they don’t. I am sure the majority have a computer or smart phone at home, and if not libraries exist for a reason.

There are more people in poverty without a computer than you realize. Now write me a 5 paragraph essay with correct source citation on your smart phone.
