This was my question coming into comments:

Do schools try to mandate installation on personal devices? This extends beyond school supplied devices? Do they have any way to actually enforce compliance if so?

I would never install any software from the schools on my kids device. Never. That doesn’t mean I don’t surveil her use - I most certainly do, and she has no privacy. But she also needs no secrecy from me, I am her protector but not her manager.

I’ve decided to forgo the public school system for many reasons despite being a huge advocate of public education. It’s become a battle ground of control by bureaucrats and ideologues, with a subtext of a police state and pre-criminalization.

But as such I’d love to hear anecdotal stories since I’m unaware of the experiences folks are having.
