What if they had caught child abuse?
What if they had caught drug use/dealing?
What if they had caught bullying or even a murder?
What if they had caught a kid planning a Columbine event?
I hope you are joking.
Not. Their. Job.
They could stop all those things by forcing all the students to live in dorms with 24-hour monitoring, or sending teachers home with the students, but that wouldn’t be right either.
Honestly, the district seems to think that because they are in loco parentis during school hours, that gives them the right to run the students’ lives later.
Why stop at the kids? If the authorities had the ability to do this with everyone's computer just imagine how safe we'd all be /s.
What if they had caught child abuse?
Like teachers who bully, harass, or molest their students?
What if they had caught drug use/dealing?
What? There are no drugs in school? Kids can't find them there? That'd be news to our school where some kids were busted for drug dealing.
What if they had caught bullying or even a murder?
Bullying doesn't happen in public schools??????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're the worst offenders.
What if they had caught a kid planning a Columbine event?
What if they allowed concealed carry?
Evidence probably would be tossed out in court.
With THAT reasoning, every home in America should be put under constant government surveillance!
I mean, just imagine all the crime we could catch!
...and don't stop there. Put cameras in every bedroom in America too. That will catch lots of rapes, I'm sure.
Do you seriously not see any problem with this???
All would be illegal. First it is illegal for anyone to spy on anyone else unless they are law enforcement and have a court order stating probable cause that a crime is being committed.
Second, and more problematic is the question “What if they had caught underage kids or their parents for that matter, nude." At best the school district would be guilty of providing the tools for peeping toms and pedophiles who are monitoring the cameras.
Thankfully I don't believe this story is true. It isn't as easy to snoop on people as this story would make it seem. The resources required to monitor every student that received a free laptop would be prohibitive, especially considering most of the activity they monitor would be innocent computer usage.
Not many people deal drugs or abuse children or murder or bully or plan mass murder in front of their lap top computers. If you think about it even if they were dealing drugs or planning a Columbine event “on-line” with others how could you tell by looking at their faces?
I suspect the kid sent out naughty pictures of himself to some of his friends or acquaintances and one of them was passed along to the assistant principal. The kid probably told his parents that he was innocent and that the school must have got the photo by spying on him. The parents would have to be pretty gullible to believe him but considering how many on this thread believe him, that isn't so hard to understand.

Irrelevant.There’s far too much play in those ‘what if’ scenarios... to better reply, how many precieved/possible illegal acts would turn out to be “false positives”?
>What if they had caught a kid planning a Columbine event?
What if they’d mistaken the kid cleaning the guns in anticipation of hunting with dad as the “next Columbine kid”?
