A teacher with a master’s degree revealed shocking secrets about schools using big-tech programs to spy on kids. Programs like ClassDojo and Khan Academy are not just learning tools—they’re surveillance machines. Schools let tech companies like Gates’ and Zuckerberg’s harvest kids’ data through secret contracts. Teachers caught this incompetence red-handed and can’t stay silent anymore.
These programs track every keystroke, diagnosed problem, and even a child’s emotions. They sell this private info to advertisers without parents’ permission. Schools call these companies “school officials” to bypass privacy laws. This isn’t education—it’s data farming. Kids are treated like products to exploit, not students to teach.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott fought back by banning cellphones in schools. But kids still use school-issued devices that parents can’t control. Teachers report kids rely on AI to cheat their way through assignments. School systems overdose on technology while ignoring basic reading and writing. This ai-driven laziness is eroding our kids’ future.
The National Education Association (teachers’ union) throws money at Democrats instead of fixing schools. Lawmakers like Senator Cynthia Lummis say unions don’t care about kids—they care about radicals and PAC checks. Teachers who resigned mid-year prove the system values politics over education. Families demand removal of these failing unions.
ClassDojo and other programs use ads on Facebook and Google. They share user data to target parents with creepy ads. Big-tech’s addiction to spying funds caught up in exposed contracts. Schools should hide secret deals, not kids’ personal info. Parents were lied to when schools said these apps were safe.
Some states ditch this garbage tech and switch to classical education. Phonics and basic skills worked for decades—why abandon them now? Tech giants fund rotten curricula while good schools suffer. It’s time to choose: will we build smart kids or data-cosset cash cows?
This data surveillance started long before computers. Schools invented by industrialists to churn out obedient workers. Now they use robots and algorithms to track every thought. The factory model is back—but digitized. Kids are treated like parts on an assembly line.
Parents, wake up! Texas bans phones but needs to ban data-mining programs too. Demand school boards dump school-official spy contracts. Support teachers who expose the truth. Your child’s privacy is worth more than Big Tech’s greed. Don’t let them turn schools into data farms—fight back NOW.
