- Flushes out incompetent and lazy teachers and highlights the good ones.
These teachers "out" themselves in a matter of weeks. Fortunately, if a teacher is lazy and incompetent in the classroom, he or she is the same way outside the classroom. No webcam necessary.
- Helps ID best practices for teacher training
So, do you expect principals to sit around after they get home from work and watch their teachers teach in order to identify these "practices"? How did your teachers and mine ever teach us successfully without webcams?
- Enables parental evolvement.
Parents can get involved by coming to school now and then-- to volunteer and to come sit in the classroom.
- Creates a record bad student behavior.
Actually, we do just fine recording bad student behavior without having cameras on students all day everywhere.

"Fortunately, if a teacher is lazy and incompetent in the classroom, he or she is the same way outside the classroom. No webcam necessary. "
You're right. There are so few lazy and incompetent teachers. No webcam necessary.

" So, do you expect principals to sit around after they get home from work and watch their teachers teach in order to identify these "practices"? "
You're right. Principals couldn't view them during the day. No webcam necessary.

" How did your teachers and mine ever teach us successfully without webcams? "
Increased bureaucracy, political activism in the curriculum and activist teachers union's couldn't have changed the playing field. You're right, no webcam necessary.

" Parents can get involved by coming to school now and then-- to volunteer and to come sit in the classroom. "
You're right. Driving to the classroom's just as attractive as logging in on their computer, and nothing changes when a parent's in the room. No webcam necessary.

" Actually, we do just fine recording bad student behavior without having cameras on students all day everywhere."
You're right. You're doing a "fine" job at recording bad behavior.
