I thought they were public schools?
The government is secret and the private sector has no privacy.

The ostensible reason for this is that they were worried about privacy for the other students in the class.

Then disable the video feed so that only the teacher can see the students and the students can only see the teacher. Weak argument.

I’m a senior volunteer with a national youth organization. Our rules are crystal clear that an adult is never to interact with a youth alone.

Occasionally a youth would send me an email. I always respond with an admonishment and at least one other adult copied.

Are the teachers performing sex acts in the virtual classroom that they don’t want the parents to see? Are the teachers exposing themselves and setting up email with the students to meet later?

It’s probably a good thing I don’t have kids or grandkids. I’d probably have been jailed more than once over the years for going after teachers/administrators for what’s been going on in schools.

After hearing that gal’s presentation last year, it was all I could do to not go to the superintendent’s office to raise holy heck.

She printed off several screen caps from school web sites and I wish I could find them. We’ve moved since then and I’m not sure what I did with them. I’d post the links to what she had so others could see for themselves.
But then everyone would probably feel as nauseated as we all did at that meeting.

I think it’s important to monitor. I don’t trust the schools that ask you NOT to listen in. So much for an open door policy.

I’d guarantee that if a parent recorded the classroom sessions, and the parent posted the video or spilled the beans in public about salacious activity going on in the classroom, the Dems/Commies would try to charge the parent with a felony over eavesdropping laws in two-party consent states. It should be a non-starter as it’s a public school, but that wouldn’t stop the left-wing SOBs from trying.

Or, Johnny could just as easily tell his parents what stupid thing Bobby said in class. If Johnny's parents are gossips, they'll gossip. Not allowing parents to view the classroom doesn't make Johnny's parents stopping gossiping, or Bobby any less of a dumbass.

The idea of disallowing parental involvement and oversight of their student in public school has no merit.

The one exception to this, is if a parent/guardian is abusing the student in some manner, the child should have an outlet to report such activity. But, that does not equate to prohibiting parents from seeing exactly what the Marxist NEA drones are teaching kids.

That said, parents should not be allowed to interrupt teaching sessions, but they should still be allowed to observe.

“RCS strongly discourages non student observation of online meetings due to the potential of confidential information about a student being revealed.”

Now, which student could they possibly be talking about?

If it is that confidential, then it shouldn't involve the entire class, should it? It should be a separate meeting between the student involved, teacher, parents and possibly an administrator. Ya think?

I knew teachers were freaks but now I know so much better.

My apologies to the last remaining good ones.

Ten to one that some of these schools will try to monitor families at home thru these cameras invading the families privacy.

It has happened before when student had assigned laptops from school.

Gigantic red flag. One of the few benefits of the plandemic is that leftist educational agenda is on hold.

Masks are falling off, and they do not fear us. Not after our sheeple reaction to C19.

A lot of the people being arrested at the “peaceful protests” are teachers and other education professionals. Keep that in mind while you question their motives.

I would demand cameras in the classroom , especially since that union also demands the police to have body cams.

Doesn’t seem enforceable or tolerable. I’d sure be meeting daily with the principal and school board until this policy changed. I’d also consider legal action. Parents, of course, have the right to know what their children are learning and may monitor their online activity.

“Why not? What are they hiding?”

Their anti-God, pro-socialist, anti-white, pro-homo, anti-American, anti-parent propaganda.

It’s been hidden in classrooms for decades. Ask recent h.s. grads how often they were told in school to not discuss things with their parents. Or how often they were asked things about their parents (drinking, guns, church, political larty, etc.).
