This is true but the difficulty could be that the teacher is not on the 
channel at the time an inappropriate exchange happens in the classroom.

I remember now that one day a US school admin told me that he removed 
the chat activity being afraid that a children complain of having being 
harassed on the chat without the teacher being aware and thus being able 
to intervene.

I did not though about this at that time but this is no more different 
in the real word that when one children harass another while playing in 
the schoolyards.

I thus would tend to say that we should not manage this. If a teacher or 
a school don't feel confident using this, they won't anyway, whatever 
spying tool we provide. Let's focus on those being able to mitigate the 
risk of using a such tool.
