Wow this is awful!

Cons:

I don’t want other people, strangers, NAMBLA, observing my child, learning what they wear, like and dislike.

Academic freedom of both students and teachers would be non-existent, something that is very important in secondary and post-secondary education. Parents calling up and pushing their agendas (Think of evolution vs. creationism or socialist vs. capitalist)

Academic freedom is irrelevant in elementary school, competent teachers and child safety is much more important. As far as strangers viewing, log ons can be restricted to parents, predators can stroll through a park much easier than stealing class log ons and every log on would would leave an IP address. Even in post secondary school many parents spends tens of thousands of dollars on an education and have the right to know if the profs are calling 9/11 victims little Eichmans.

I think you are being a little paranoid.

Password protect it.

There is no academic freedom in public schools. Maybe parents would see how bad they are and do something.

Teachers don't have academic freedom with my children.

They either teach them what I want taught and do not teach what I do not want taught or I yank my kids.

My children are my children, not the states.

That's why doing this would be illegal in my district.
