Common Core will track information of a student without a parents consent. In my opinion a student is a person. Is a person entitled to privacy?
Below are the hundreds and hundreds of data points you’ll find there; my favorites include:
your child’s name
nickname, Why?religious affiliation, Why?
birthdate
ability grouping, Why?GPA, Why?
physical characteristics, Why?IEP, What does the government need?attendance
telephone number
bus stop times, What will this information be used for? What if you child decides to walk?
allergies
diseases
languages and dialects spoken, Is this possibly a bit prejudicial or racist?
number of attempts at a given assignment. Is this between the teacher and the parent?
delinquent status. School Administration's business between parent and child. referral date
nonschool activity involvement, School Administration's business between parent and child.
meal type
screen name, Why?maternal last name, What are they looking for?voting status, Nobody's business!martial status
– even cause of death.

How they justify tracking students even beyond academics, even beyond death, I do not know. I can foresee the Federal government adding a bureaucracy of truant officers
Comment; The four hundred points that were collected also included MRIs and IRIS scans<a Fla. school district already used this on their students without parental knowledge>Medical info, diseases, Biological scans were noted in the DOE's booklet entitled "Promoting Grit Tenacity and Perseverance" and on page 44 the gov't provided pictures of the devices which included pressure mouse, padded electronic sensor chair on posture, facial recognition camera, and wrist sensor. Remember this list can be found at the National Data Collection Model from the National Center for ed Statistics - a federal agency; keep in mind that it is illegal under the GEPA law and under the Constitution, to have a federal database for innocent citizen surveillance; it is a national data base parading as 50 independent ones. The feds paid the states to create an interoperable state longitudinal data base. The Data Quality Campaign and the Common Educational Data Statistics sites also collect the info. The feds can then subpoena the testing companies to get the info - PARCC and SBAC. More importantly, Duncan had the FERPA law changed to allow 3rd party access, "educational vendors" and "educational researchers" access yo the info stored in the "cloud" - check inBloom the monopoly on the cloud computing storage! And this list is collected from PreKindergarten to the age of 20 at which point the individual is in the workforce - then its the IRS, NSA data bases...
