(Sorry in advance for any formatting issues, I’m new to posting here) Hello! I’m a student at a US public high school, and really hate their over-dependence on Google. I’m curious of how to escape/minimize Google in my education. Any advice you can share is appreciated.
About formatting concerns, since you’re on Lemmy, before posting, there’s a view button near the bottom of the post form. Main reason I return to my Lemmy alt. =)
About your issue, not an US citizen myself so can’t check details as easily, but considering what I can tell from the outside, I’d suggest first seeing if laws for your specific town, county or state, or even the federal ones, make Google adoption opt-in or opt-out. That also could require confirming with an attorney to be safe, which would likely cost money.
Thanks, didn’t see that button! It’s not law here to use Google AFAIK, but it’s cheap/Google donates devices to schools.
