I know that, you know that, many know that, but many don't. Imo they should be required to inform you, preferably with a splash screen on boot or something similar that says "monitored by XXXXX" or something. Especially for things like schools where it's more likely kids won't know it (and will be more likely to become privacy advocates for life from knowingly having theirs violated.)

Something like that, yeah. They don't all notify.
