(Sorry in advance for any formatting issues, I'm new to posting here) Hello! I'm a student at a US public high school, and really hate their over-dependence on Google. I'm curious of how to escape/minimize Google in my education. Any advice you can share is appreciated.

“Fuck your principles; suck it up and use it anyway” is pragmatic but not really a great answer.

Especially for students, where there is a lot more room for flexibility, and the teachers incompetence shouldn’t enter into that.

Sometimes it puts a target on your back, but change can only happen when people recognize that there’s a problem with the status quo.
