Middle class parents are the ones slapping Gps trackers on their kids wrists. Poor kids are the lucky ones as they may not yet have a digital leash due to cost? I’m sure googles next academic intrusion will move from Chromebooks to smart watches for PE.
I seriously can’t believe how common it is to see 9-y/os chatting on a voice call every 15 minutes with their parents. I’m on block a. I’m going to playground b. I’m with Johnny. JFC and their parents likely had exposure to “higher education”.
