I work IT in schools. There is limited surveillance tools on college owned devices. Mainly logging of web traffic. Screens can be viewed when on campus network, not reachable off campus.

That’s a number you just made up.
Either way, use a blacklist then. If you really care about what sites they access, use a whitelist.
They do.
you’re purposefully ignoring my point
That’s what it looks like when it works well. There’s no way for parents to know if its a Joe situation or not.
It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/610k-settlement-in-school-webcam-spy-case/
So if no one gives a shit anyway you don’t need the surveillance capabilities anyway, right?
