The monitoring tools often helped counselors reach out to students who might have otherwise struggled in silence. But the Vancouver case is a stark reminder of surveillance technology’s unintended consequences in American schools.
In some cases, the technology has outed LGBTQ+ children and eroded trust between students and school staff, while failing to keep schools completely safe.
Gaggle Safety Management, the company that developed the software that tracks Vancouver schools students’ online activity, believes not monitoring children is like letting them loose on “a digital playground without fences or recess monitors,” CEO and founder Jeff Patterson said.
Roughly 1,500 school districts nationwide use Gaggle’s software to track the online activity of approximately 6 million students. It’s one of many companies, like GoGuardian and Securly, that promise to keep kids safe through AI-assisted web surveillance."

E.G.
Trump just claimed he’s stopped “government censorship” & “brought back free speech in America.” In reality, Trump has signed #ExecutiveOrders that’s required the govt to scrub certain words & phrases from the public domain, dictating “patriotic education,” & just today announced that #schools would lose federal funding if they allowed students to engage in certain protests.

Students have begun returning to schools across the Gaza Strip after Israel’s war on the enclave saw school suspended for more than 16 months.
Many school buildings were damaged by Israeli bombardment while others were used as shelters during the war.

Many young students have also lost their homes, families, and even parents during the ongoing conflict.
Despite this, more than 300 children were in attendance at one school in Gaza City – repeatedly targeted by Israeli forces over the past 15 months – as it reopened amid the ceasefire.

The hack, which came to light earlier this month, hit PowerSchool, a Folsom, California, firm that provides cloud-based software to some 16,000 K–12 schools worldwide. The schools serve 60 million students and employ an unknown number of teachers. Besides providing software for administration, grades, and other functions, PowerSchool stores personal data for students and teachers, with much of that data including Social Security numbers, medical information, and home addresses."

Academies haven’t raised pupil achievement – there’s no need for them to have privileges that other schools do not
Academy schools are no better at raising attainment than the schools they replaced.The Conversation
Good news to see that charges were dropped against Rich Heyman. He has already been punished too much with the loss of his teaching position,simply for rejecting the violent actions of police on campus during pro #Palestine protests.

“This [IFS] report reveals the reality that is facing many schools and colleges – yet another round of cutbacks. It will inevitably mean further reductions to pastoral support, curriculum options and classroom resources. It is also likely that in many cases class sizes will increase.”

From a friend:
👇
George Lakoff in the ‘90s alerted me to Atlas (the Atlas Network) in his book ‘Don’t think of an elephant’. He is a linguist and focuses on the use of language to frame an issue. The wealthy right organise to influence language, coming up with phrases that have embedded themselves into our media, eg ‘tax burden’ (= ‘tax’) and ‘tax relief’ (= ‘tax cut’). The newest phrase I have detected is ‘household recession’ ie a per capita recession. The Oz today led with a claim we are having ‘the longest household recession in history’ under Labor, which is a lie as we had a per capita recession through most of the LNP’s incumbency - that’s why interest rates were near zero for so long. Angus ‘Great job’ Taylor has adopted the new phrase. We need to fight this language creep at every opportunity, everywhere.

Given the gap between the provision of extra time in the state sector & private sector, either students from wealthier families are more likely to have special education needs, or there is something fishy going on... I'm sure some students in private schools do need the extra time but not nearly half!!!
Something fishy, methinks!
