Scrolling 2 Death

I'm suing a school app - Here's what parents need to know (with Attorney Andy Liddell)

This week, I break down why I’ve filed a lawsuit against Seesaw, one of the most widely used EdTech apps in K–6 classrooms—and what every parent needs to know about how their child’s personal data is being harvested, stored, and shared without their consent.


Seesaw claims to help track student learning progress. But what I discovered when I requested access to the data they’d collected about my children left me physically sick: thousands of files, photos, videos, audio clips, journal entries, even AI-generated assignments—much of it deeply personal, intimate, and shockingly invasive.


Joining me is Attorney Andy Liddell from the Ed Tech Law Center, who walks us through the legal violations at play, how edtech companies are bypassing federal law, and how schools are unintentionally (or knowingly) exposing kids to serious data privacy and safety risks.


If you think this couldn’t happen to your child—you need to listen. Because if they use school-issued iPads, Chromebooks, or apps like Seesaw, it already is.

If you're a parent, teacher, or school leader who wants to understand your rights—and your child’s rights—don’t miss this episode.
