So you don't like contractual obligations either? Not very libertarian of you...

Home schooling, voting out the school board, leave the laptop at school, etc... All viable means of redress.

I'm all for doing away with public schools altogether. Until enough of YOU get off your asses and vote for it, folks like me still have a job to do.

I need to make sure your little darlings aren't setting up porn sights on school servers, trading info on dope dealers, setting up gangs, etc... on tax payer funded equipment.

And yes... those are just some of the issues I've had to deal with in just ONE school year in a small sized mid-western school district on in-school machines.

The school issued the laptop under false pretenses. Did the 'contract' explicitly state 'this laptop has the capability to be used to spy on you at any time, including in your home'?

If you can show me where the student agreed to that UNDER WRITTEN CONTRACT...then you have an arguement.

Without it...please refer to metmom's last sentence.

OK. Let me ask you a question then.

You’re with the school district and dealing with administering programs like this.

I presume that it’s what you do for a living.

Why are you posting on FR in the middle of the morning on a school day? Is this spring break week for you? Or are you on a vacation day?

Or are you at the school using school equipment and school payroll time to support the nannystatist position you are advocating?
