National Science Foundation Awards $4.8 Million to Mine Student Data
(Editor: www.thereportcard.org Data collected about students is old news, but “Big Data” or gobs of data that can be mined to create assumptions about our children like what jobs they will get, or what their future should look like is a scary thing in the hands of The Federal government. David Coleman of Common Core fame is a big proponent of Big Data. That includes all kinds of personal data about your kids, and about you. The US Department of Education wants that data and so does The US Department of Labor. Why? Could it be about control? Now the National Science Foundation is getting involved. And The National Science Foundation is a Federal Agency with an annual budget of $7 Billion paid for by your tax dollars. Big Data, Big Fed).
