Used Blackout Education daily for 0-3 months

I am completely fed up with this intrusive "Blackout" app they’re making the kids install on their phones! Who gave some software developer the right to worm their way onto personal devices that we paid for, just to micromanage every minute of our children's day? It’s completely overreaching, and handing over root access or profile controls to a third-party app just so the school can shirk basic discipline is a massive privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Instead of teaching kids how to actually manage their digital habits and build self-control like responsible human beings, they’re slapping a lazy, heavy-handed digital muzzle on them that drains batteries, glitches out, and treats our kids' personal property like it belongs to the administration!
