I think the larger point of this restriction is for parents to not see OTHER kids in Zoom meetings. Would you want other parents seeing inside your home while your kid carries around his/her laptop throughout the house? I know in FL that even the teacher isn’t allowed to see into the home. Not sure how it is for other states. Parents not seeing the curriculum is not the point in this TN mandate.

but if the Zoom will show the surroundings, then what is to be done?
Tape over the camera in the laptop?
Not use a laptop, but a PC?
I disagree.The point is to not let the parents hear what the teachers are saying. Like, teachers who use all those gender-based pronouns...and other wacky stuff. If you search the main board, I think there's a bigger article about all the freaking out the teachers are doing about how badly they don't want the parents to know what the kids are being taught.
Were it I, I'd sign their damn note, and then program the computer to record each and every session.
Oh hell, who am I kidding? I'd be doing the same thing I did 25 yrs ago, I'd homeschool! It's too bad my house is so small and we're having this pandemic. Otherwise, I'd be private homeschooling right now. About 5 kids from at least 2 different families...perfect.
Whoever is in charge of wish granting this week, please send me a 16 x 16 pole barn...red of course!
