On: School spyware in coursebooks

[Jormundir]

So now we're going to call grading "policing"?

I'm not sure what line I crossed to get so many downvotes, but I really don't understand why this is outrageous.

Can someone please explain for me why we're fighting a school for measuring user interaction and adjusting based on that data?

There is a huge difference between "discovering if the student learned the lesson" and "verifying that the student behaves in the school aproved manner". The first is named "grading", and the last "policing".

Both must be done for some degree, but that degree vary widely.
