The public school you attend is not generally viewed as a free market decision as only certain members of society have the economic freedom to 'select' a different one, and public schools have legal obligations to protect the privacy of their students. I imagine most people here are not working in K-12 education and so are not familiar with these issues, but it should be understood that many public school districts are making use of Google Apps for education in a capacity which is either explicitly or implicitly compulsory for students, including creation of private accounts on minor students' behalf. If Google is not being entirely forthcoming on precisely what personally-identifiable information they are retaining about minor students they are potentially in a great legal mess here.
