Feds collecting data on every child in Schools!
Sure looks like big brother is becoming more and more intrusive to manipulate the data to find predictive traits of our young becoming citizens does it not?

Last year, Congress gutted the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), leaving protections for student data significantly weakened. As more private companies donate education apps to schools in exchange for children's information, the increasing threat of hacking the data of vulnerable children has become very real.
The U.S. Department of Education (USED), however, in its report published last year and titled "Promoting Grit, Tenacity and Perseverance," expressed a strong interest in monitoring students' "beliefs, attitudes, dispositions, values and ways of perceiving oneself" and to measure non-cognitive attributes such as their "psychological resources."
USED goes on to suggest that researchers employ "functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and physiological indicators [that] offer insight into the biology and neuroscience underlying observed student behaviors."
