I absolutely love flying dreams, not for the actual flying, but because I always use my skill to get out of bad/unwanted situations. I’ll be in a foot chase and I’ll just zing off into the sky. I’m also the only one who can fly, so I show off a lot.
The table in the ACLU report is kind of interesting. I mean, I was confused about the could be shared with law enforcement and the could be used to discipline my friends but then seeing the Could be used to identify trans/reproductive health makes those amounts completely understandable as well as the undocumented statement.
I always feel like I’m being watched 32%
How it could be used to discipline me or my friends 27%
What our school and companies they contract with do with the data (such as sell it, analyze it, etc.) 26%
How it limits what resources I feel I can access online 24%
Could be shared with law enforcement 22%
Could be used against me in the future by a college or an employer 21%
Could be used to identify students seeking reproductive health care (such as contraception or abortion care) 21%
Could be used to identify students seeking gender-affirming care (such as transgender students seeking hormones) 18%
Could be used against immigrant students, especially those who are undocumented 18%
How it limits what I say online 17%
Could be used to “out” LGBTQIA+ students 13%
I have no concerns regarding surveillance in my school 27%

Note: Found the one big thing I wanted in the ACLU stuff but I’m not reading through the Vice News report at this moment: As Vice News reported, “The few published studies looking into the impacts of [student surveillance] tools indicate that they may have the effect [of] breaking down trust relationships within schools and discouraging adolescents from reaching out for help.”83 Ironically, the same tools the EdTech Surveillance industry is promoting as a means for identifying students in need of help may actually be dis-couraging those students from reaching out to school officials and other adults for help when they need it.

What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?
For me, it’s “Clear Storage”. Sometimes I try to clear the cache of some mobile game I’m playing and end up deleting all my progress instead.
