      Not really, though. In both scenarios, somebody attending a public school is required to have invasive spyware running on their devices.

        The difference between schools installing the programs on their own hardware and installing them on personal devices is stark and I cannot take any argument seriously that ignores this.

          You’re missing the point. Either way, the use of this invasive software is required in order to attend public school.

              The schools. Many assignments are given 100% digitally now, with no option for a pencil-and-paper version outside of special needs situations, which not every student qualifies for.

              Last time I checked
