The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) typically requires parental consent for under-13s using interactive technologies collecting personal data. Crucially, Section 312.5(c) carves out special provisions for schools: Educational Use permits educators to act "in loco parentis" when services are used strictly for educational purposes.

Educational Purpose Mandate: Usage must directly support curriculum objectives
Teacher-as-Gatekeeper Requirement: Educators monitor all interactions
Data Deletion Protocols: Student data must be routinely purged
