I hate google classroom for many reasons, including, but not limited to:


1. The fact that it injects 20+ privacy violating cookies into your browser, just like every other frigging google service on the web.

2. The fact that it runs proprietary, non-free javascript code in my browser that's responsible for injecting those 20+ privacy violating cookies I just mentioned.

3. The fact that it provides a convenient excuse for teachers to make assignments due during the weekend and during after school hours on weekdays.


My school uses google classroom as it's assignment and class information distribution platform, so I unfortunately have no other choice but to swallow my (very valid) reasons for hating shitgle classroom and use it. It bothers me so much that even when there are libre alternatives to platforms like google classroom (such as moodle, just to name one off the top of my head), schools still end up using the proprietary, non-free solution because it's "convenient". I'm so sick and tired of people not caring about how disgusting proprietary, non-free software is, especially when it affects others. If you don't care about your own freedom and privacy, then fine, but don't sacrifice other people's freedom and privacy for your own convenience.
