Two parents have filed a lawsuit against Curriculum Associates, the company that makes i-Ready, alleging that the company collects student data and shares it with third parties without adequate parent and student consent, The Guardian<\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n The lawsuit also alleges that Curriculum Associates wrongfully profits from the collection and sale of student data. The company has denied all allegations, according to The Guardian. Meanwhile, the company makes over $750 million in annual revenue and holds a $20 million contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District.\u00a0<\/p>\n One of the plaintiffs, Lila Byock, has two children in LAUSD, while the other, Nicki Petrossi, has children who used to attend Fullerton School District.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cParents do not know that this is happening. We trust that our kids are protected, and that includes their data,\u201d Petrossi told The Guardian. \u201cUs checking off a box, giving permission for them to use the internet at school should not entail this level of data farming on them.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time the company has come under scrutiny; another lawsuit was filed in a Massachusetts District Court in December carrying similar allegations. Many have also questioned<\/a> whether i-Ready is actually beneficial to students\u2019 academic success.<\/p>\n EdSource is dedicated to covering in California and nationally.
