The ability to remotely monitor what is happening in my childs classrrom and what is or is not being taught would be a major benefit to all concerned parents

You honestly think they will give parents the option of watching these things ?

I'm expect they'd resist with the same vigor as they resist vouchers. But voters have a way of getting their way sooner or later.

The teachers union will fight this to the very bitter end to keep parents from having access, however, I am aware that one school in (I think) chicago has already started this as an experiment, and the parents were given a password and warned not to share it with anyone else including family members. (they noted fear of pedophiles and stalkers as the reason).

I have mixed feelings on this. I don't like camera's being everywhere, and I do think kids should have some kind of constitutional rights and protections at the very least, on the other hand, parents pay for the school and the question is do they have a right to be able to monitor the education of there child and the enviornment in which there child is in, if they pay for it.
