Ethics and the college student who is enrolled in Early Childhood Education and Development.

1. Introduction

1.1. Collecting data and analytics on teachers and students would be an invasion of privacy, there's no way to know exactly what it is used for and there is no way to limit the data being recorded.

1.2. What are reasons data and analytics experimentation on school children may be considered unethical?

1.3. Collecting data and analytics not only on students but teachers as well would involve a huge invasion of privacy.

2. Conclusion

2.1. Collecting data and analytics in schools is an unnecessary invasion of privacy, with no way to know where the information is going and no way to limit how it is collected.

2.2. Although there may be a few upsides to collecting data in schools, the cons are more serious and outweigh the pros. Until there are ways to prevent data being stolen or sold, and ways to limit what is obtained, this should stay out of schools.

5. Third paragraph

5.1. No way to limit how data is being recorded

5.2. While some useful data can be recorded, such as grades, graduation rates and budgets, there is no way to limit the data collected. Recording every key stroke, spoken word and movement in the classroom is going a bit overboard. There is no way to avoid collecting personal data such as passwords and what students and teachers do during "down time"
