Joe Biden wouldn't even have been able to graduate high school under this scenario.

I'm embattled w/my child's school at this very moment. Every student is getting a "Chromebook"... The school has been put on notice that it will not be allowed to connect to my home network since Google is currently under investigation for treason.
The purpose behind these is allow kids greater, unfettered access to the internet behind their parents back IMO.
School thinks they're going win this. What they don't realize, I'm familiar w/home schooling & not afraid to pull my child out of his garbage school.

Our school has had Chromebooks for several years now. I'm kinda with you. I pulled my oldest out halfway through freshman year for BS at the school.I'm not above doing it with my youngest. So far I have kept a close eye on the homework and class work and haven't had to call them on any liberal BS. The google having so much access to so much of my son's education DOES bother me though.

So... here's my dilemma. As a small business owner, what do I use to replace Google (and Facebook, for that matter)? They seem to have a pretty good lock on the market.

2019-08-14 | Google’s new ‘Assignments’ software for teachers helps catch plagiarism – TechCrunch
'The updated Google Assignments program does more than help catch cheaters, however. '
'With the plagiarism checker — the feature called “Originality Reports” — teachers can check for missed citations and other issues. '
'Just in time for the new school year, Google’s educational arm, Google for Education, today announced the launch of new tools aimed at helping teachers fight plagiarism. '
'The company this morning is unveiling Assignments, an updated version of the software previously known as CourseKit, which will ship with new features that help instructors check students’ work to ensure it’s properly cited — not stolen from another source. '
'This gives students the chance to catch and fix any errors, while also saving the teacher time in grading, the company says. '

Stopping plagiarism is racist. How will blacks be able to pass?
Regarding Google's initiative, beyond the nefarious aspects of it, I think society probably needs to look slightly differently at the concept of plagiarism in CURRENT_YEAR when technology enables nearly the sum total of human knowledge to be available instantly. This is nothing new: technology has brought forth a lot of changes in education.
For example, aren't there already maybe 100,000,000 High School papers about Abraham Lincoln written in the last century? Does it make sense to use technology to ensure that the #100,000,001 paper on him is unique? It seems like a waste of effort as there's only so many ways you can reword the same basic facts over and over again.
I'm not sure that I have an actual answer here, but this feels like a waste of technology, and I'd suspect that part of the real reason is the dumbing down towards the least common denominator. Many niggers and spics probably copy shit verbatim (when they bother to do an assignment at all) so every part of society has to change to accommodate their presence.

Homeschool. Or. Die. There is no other road.

and then what about when you get to university? they all use it. all papers. all journal articles. probably all books. google started off being the handy locator of information. so it could be censored when necessary. we're living in 1984 if you didn't know that by now. we're no better than china.

It's stored on the cloud, typed into the cloud. Every word you type, as you type is subject to "Machine Learning Fairness" algorithms, meaning that it will
A) Correct the child's words with GOOGLE'S POLICED WORDS AND PHRASES. Ultimately, this will shape the child's worldview and control the child's mind
B) Every word typed will go into a massive dossier on the child that is hoooked up with their social media presence and linkedin resume and their twitter historical thoughtscape and interactions. This dossier will feed into a system called SENTIENT, which will create an AI 'threat matrix' based simulacrum of predictive actions the child could take, in order to predict PRECRIME and also to shape / steer and manipulate the childs future worldview and thus their behavior ("SITUATIONALISM" Cyber model)
C) Every word typed will be ML screened for "novelty" and "interest". They will be most interested in "the MOST INTERSTING PEOPLE AND IDEAS". This will be used to steal children's ideas, commodify them like they do people, ideas, innovations, trends, everything; and they will sell it faster than the child can formulate a business innovation or process to profitize that idea for themselves. THis is how ML fairness and AI and surveillance capitalism will be used as a weapon against the middle classs (or I should say "The Underclass") by the upper class fascista to wage an ongoing war of economic attrition against the public in an anticompetitive way.
This is your future and it's inevitable. I'm sorry. But the silver lining is, to quote black messiah, "you didn't build that!"

If I didn't know already that this is all true and in action I would think you're crazy. Truth is stranger than fiction.

A part of me thinks the idea of smart kids typing their ideas out and someone with the resources making it happen is a good thing.

it's almost like we should go back to embracing paper and books and things that still show up when the power goes out....

Most likely keyboards have keystroke loggers built into them and they transmit that shit backdoored to god knows where. Tell me that is not happening...
