In their agreement with the elementary school district, does Google comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act with respect to parental consent to collect information from children under 13?

As the saying goes, "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product."
Google doesn't exist to give things away, they are beholden to their shareholders to turn a profit. Their business model is all about monetizing data they collect -- and if they are prohibited from collecting and using it, they have no incentive to provide products for free.
