Privacy issues.
Just texted my friend in a DC private, and another in Memphis. Both have them and most of their schools do too. I think y'all are delightfully uninformed as most teachers do use these.

What kind of teacher do you guys envision that doesn't have the classroom control to manage it? And newsflash, like PP teacher, most of them already have something like this.

Wouldn’t the kids be yelling at Alexa all day?

No way in hell. I would NOT be happy with Amazon listening in on my child’s classroom, or with Alexa responding (possibly inappropriately) to every random question that kids ask.

no no no no no
Alexa at my house with a 7 year old and a friend over gets a work out. The song requests, stupid jokes, simon says, and other activities cause me to feel pity for the poor contraption. I cannot imagine how awfully it would be used in a classroom, never mind a classroom that has a kid named Alex or Alexandria or Alexa in the classroom.
Just no

Was not kidding. Thought teacher may want to play some music easily during class.

I'm not even sure an Alexa would be allowed at our preschool and elementary.

I have kids in preschool and elementary. Don’t think any of the classrooms have an Alexa.
Would this be a good holiday gift? Thinking of giving everyone one with an amazon gift card.
