U.S. parents are behind parents in other countries when it comes to knowledge of how their children's online and email habits are being tracked in schools. According to research from SaveGov.org, only 51 percent of American parents are aware of the digital data that schools are monitoring on students, as compared to 75 percent of Malaysian parents and 71 percent of Polish parents who keep track of the practice. Those American parents that are aware of the practice are concerned over the practice. In fact, nine out of 10 are "concerned or very concerned about the practice."
