I honestly do not care about Inbloom. What is the big deal if my information gets uploaded to a database that nobody can see. Isn't that the same exact thing as parent portal? People are claiming that this information might be shared with private companies, so what? You are going to have to share all of your educational information when you apply to college anyway, so what is the big deal if it is put in a database now? Inbloom is not a big deal. This whole database will actually make accessing educational information in the future much easier for everyone, as it will always be in a database as opposed to sitting in a file cabinet that someone has already forgotten about. It can also help catch mistakes in test scores. For example, say a kid does very well on a state test but it gets uploaded to Inbloom as a failing grade, the kid will be able to catch the mistake and notify someone who can help him.
