Why did Chromebooks become the default choice in schools?
Low cost, bundled features like screen readers and voice typing, and easy-to-use platforms like Google Classroom made Chromebooks irresistible to school districts constantly under pressure to save money.
But cost savings come at a price: mass adoption of monitoring tools that track student behavior, not just in classrooms but at home. What started as accessibility and convenience has opened the door to constant surveillance and data extraction.
Schools may believe they’re protecting students, but the hidden trade-offs tell another story.
Parents and educators deserve to understand this shift—and there are better options.
