About Google and Degoogling in schools - eviltoast

Here in Italy, often schools, the educative relationship betwenn teachers and students is kept through google classroom. Once I’ve worked in a school that had both solutions: Moodle (the usability is very very scarce) and Google classroom. During the years I’ve developped an increasing grudge toward Google, because in the very beginning I’ve had pinned a lot of hopes in this company, naively thinking that it could have changed the world for the better (don’t be evil, a multibillion company who choose this as a motto! I was hopeful and impressed): I was very naive. Now I would like to know if there are systems (because Google classroom works very fine, I have to admit) that works equally fine or even better that are disappeared under the magnitude of this monopolistic leviathan.
Could someone help me?

    Public school in general are place out of time and out place. The majority of people, the princpals do not have a clue about anyting pertaining these fields. Most of the teachers don’t feel the privacy issue as a major problem and often talk to each other and with students via what’s app. It is a mess, a big one. No strategy, no plan whatsoever. Not even the need to learn and become slightly litterate about this matter. what’s look cool and American, siliconish valley is right and felt as modern.
