WHY DID THEY EVEN MAKE THIS?

I’m a student KIPP and my teacher uses this Admin Ahh tool TO LITERALLY SPY ON YOU AND BLOCK THINGS THAT ARE ARE EDUCATIONAL

No privacy

Get this app if you want your privacy taken away from you completely. This app used to have a feature before they removed it where they could turn on your webcam and you had no way to turn in off. Some of my homework requires me to go on websites, like art class where I need to find info about the art piece. While I’m looking, 90% of the websites will be blocked. I’ll be looking at the website, “art.com” or “pablopicassoofficialart.org” and it will be blocked. Do not get this app unless you want to torture your child, students, or I guess yourself.

It sucks😕

As a teacher, respectfully, this app did NOT work for me. Also, I think this is an invasion of privacy, and this should not be legal. #respectpeoplesprivacy

Stupid privacy invasion

I’m an LanSchool student but why does it basically control your own computer and you can’t do anything about it. It makes the student feel like a prisoner. And then they block every single fun website, are they trying to take away every ounce of our joy

It is racist

I literally said that we need to end racism to my friend on school Gmail and I got flagged.
