Bentham goes to school: surveillance and student privacy in the classroom.
summary
Cloud platforms and analytics are already central to schools: a $100M-backed pilot called In Bloom shutdown ( ~$100M funding) collapses amid privacy backlash; CCTV appears in roughly UK majority, US ~85%, Israel ~1/3 of schools, with 1–60 cameras per campus and almost no parental consent; RFID RFID smart-uniforms and emotion bracelets (Q sensor) track movement and arousal; a company claims Newton: "five orders of magnitude" more data than Google on students. Evidence shows habituation to surveillance, disciplinary use of footage, and students withdrawing from online engagement.
