In this episode of "Teach Smarter," Peter talks with Dr. Leslie Gruis, a former NSA official who now works with students and writes about data privacy. We discuss how her time in national security shaped her understanding of surveillance and why commercial tech companies, not the government, may pose the bigger threat to student data. Leslie also shares what she's seeing in classrooms today, how AI tools are affecting how students learn, and what privacy really means in a world where most kids don't think they have any.
