@kcarruthers@infosec.exchange can't help but think in current hands it's going to be used to transfer more funds from public to private where they're already funded to be able to make better decisions about it's use anyway

@kcarruthers@infosec.exchange it's already in my kids primary school and they have no idea what it is really and what to do about it in regards to policy. They seemed defeatist, like its here to stay why fight it? But also acknowledged it was akin to cheating and didn't help their learning. The policy needs to come from the department of education and out to schools, educating them on the risks and imposing restrictions. It's a lot for the individual schools to handle.
