I've tried to educate my kids about this. I've told them since an early age, that there is no privacy in any interaction with the school: Even a well meaning attempt to protect their information, in the absence of sufficient expertise, is futile.

Famous hacks and releases of private information, reported in the news, are good teachable moments.

My advice is that they can still get good grades while sticking with "safe" opinions and topics of discussion. This is also good preparation for corporate life.

It's basically the same as a corporate environment but with lower stakes and less funding to ensure competency.

Telling children they are entitled to privacy is setting them up for a world that will surely disappoint them.
