Yep.
Can’t use schools as daycare till 18 and not expect them to be up to no good.
Dodd’s School of Darkness should be required reading fro new parents.
No. I’d not put it past the Left to try to use breaking your word to the school district as cause to take the kids at some point.
Actually, online entertainment would be a STEP UP for participation of some parents involvement in their kids educations.
Just think of this as them auditing classes and all is good.
Exactly!
The right to monitor (audit) a class should be important.
Good point,,..
Close! Not audit, monitor.
sounds like the school system has something to hide from the parents. I wonder what it might be???
WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE?
Hmmm?
We were researching pet transport companies when we moved. The vans had cameras running 24/7 so pet owners could check on their pets’ welfare at any time.
I’d think people should have the same rights regarding their children as they do with their pets. Cameras in every classroom, streaming every moment, so parents (with password access) can monitor what’s going on.
“(for the most part)”?
I worked as a Maintenance Supervisor for a school district for 32 years; you parents paid for everything!
Every administrators salary, teachers salary, janitors salary, every mechanic in every trades salary, the toilet paper, the nuts and bolts used to repair every item of equipment, every computer, every lunch tray, every lunch (and now every breakfast/supper) served, every field trip, every buss, every drop of fuel used for that buss, every AC unit, every blade of grass sowed and mowed, every utility (water, gas, oil, electricity), if the school district used it, you paid for it.
If it’s on school property or can be related to school business you paid for it.
YOU TAX PAYERS PAID FOR EVERYTHING!
These people are stupid they are picking a fight and they don't even know it.
After losing the lawsuit the school will have less money than before and parents will have less need of this physical school
Use it.
The typical “educators” are afraid the parents will realize they are indoctrinating their children with leftist swill. Stop abusing the children, you nitwits!
In regular school the kids in a classroom hear and see everything and can tell their parents and anyone else what they hear and see.
The school system owes the parents a fuller explanation such as scenarios where parents had best not observe.
Perhaps it’s because the teachers are gonna look like asses. Or perhaps it’s because parents will see that the kids aren’t learning squat.
How do students take test a and get grades? Or is that a racist question showing my white privilege?
Our district installed cameras in the school buses to discourage misbehavior. The idea was that if sweet little Johnny beat the crap out his seat mate, the district would have proof to show Johnny’s parents. But. Privacy laws would require that every other kid’s face would have to be blurred before we could show the video to the parent.
The privacy laws involving students are pretty strict. Parents, can of course, see their own kids, but not other people’s kids. Our district does allow parents to visit classrooms, but as time has gone on, it’s become much more restrictive. I as a teacher may know that little Johnny is a thug, and you as a parent may know it because your kid has told you, but I’m forbidden to name his name to you.
Dickens had it right when he wrote, “The law is a ass”.
Tough call. I would tend to say no, but part of me wants to know what they don’t want me to see. I don’t believe for a minute it has anything remotely to do with student’s “privacy”.”
Good answer, we have a natural inhibition to signing papers that we have no intention of complying with.
They claim the only punishment for getting caught would be to cut off our kids from something that they wouldn't get if we didn't sign anyway.
Their excuse will get some sympathy, ‘Do you want your kid being streamed live in school not knowing the answers?”
Pretty easy to “not watch” and get a feed right off your child’s “link” with not so much as a iota of indication.
Tech savvy people have already made these arrangements. Parents truthfully say the did not and will not be “watching”.
