Do you think the department of education writes the textbooks, standardized tests (SAT, ACT, etc.), grading and student management software, learning management systems (Google Classroom, Canvas), or manufactures its own classroom tech (Chromebooks, tablets)? The education system is full of for-profit businesses that can jack up the prices, and they do. The DOE simply doesn't have the resources to create these things themselves and would cost them far more if they tried. The only new thing here is the AI, the business model has existed forever

Personally, I'm more concerned with the use of Google products in schools. A company that's sole business is harvesting user data and selling it to advertisers should have no place in schools or children's products. But they've embedded themselves into everything so people just accept it at the cost of privacy

helping children learn to read sounds like an ideal use case for an LLM. An app that utilizes its own users interactions to enhance its own capabilities is not inherently malicious and is vastly different from selling user data to third parties or training on scraped content from others.

And what are you even talking about with the "children could face disciplinary or legal consequences for noncompliance" nonsense. where was that in the article?

extensions on mobile are published as normal apps, so yes the process/requirements are the same as publishing any app on the app store

Safari on mobile iOS/iPad have supported extensions since iOS 15 (2021), it supported limited 3rd party content blockers since iOS 9 (2015)

I use pfSense on a Protectli vault with a Unifi Pro switch and Unifi AP. it all works great. I prefer pfSense over the full unified UDM gateway, pfSense appears to offer more features and plugins. but I haven't played with the unifi gateway myself. also a lot cheaper
