"There is absolutely no reason why this is a good idea. All I read was statist propaganda, no common sense. As the X-Files said: Fight the Future."

Actually, this is one of the best ideas to come along, and one I have wondered why it "hadn't been done yet". The benefit from this is CLASSROOM DISCIPLINE (i.e. when teacher tells the parent that little Johnny has been mis-behaving, it is no longer his word against Johnny's--teacher HAS THE EVIDENCE ON TAPE), and in fact the very idea that mom and/or dad might be "tuning in" during the day will have the same effect on little Johnny that the presence of concealed carry licensees have on crime.

Schools CAN and DO have cameras throughout schools.. just to monitor kids and teachers..they are kept PRIVATE ..only those who have a reason to see the tapes can.. there is NO reason to have WEBCAMS.
