"Simple. You stare in the direction of the teacher and let your mind wander. "
I think that if troubled kids tried to do that for 6 hours every day, they'd double their SATs. From what I hear from a good friend who's taught in both rough and rural CA schools, pretending to listen would be a monstrous improvement.

"A webcam running 6 hours a day isn't a few "snips". It's a waste of time."
It's the source of snips when recorded. Are you intentionally trying to be stupid?

"Because no one who is normal is going to spend six hours of their day… If you need to rely on a webcam instead, there's something wrong with you"
Never mind, got my answer… So now you feel the need to defend your previous idiocy by pretending that someone has to watch all 6 hours or nothing. You are a "waste of time".

Interesting logic. Perhaps we should introduce Bhuddist meditation into the curriculum. That'll raise those SAT scores, especially in math and reading.

Nope. The person who regularly edits his favorite snippers out of a day's worth of web cams and thinks that he's making a contribution to someone's education may be a well-meaning idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

Never mind, got my answer…

Snippity snip snip. Do you perchance have a hobby collecting coupons?

So now you feel the need to defend your previous idiocy by pretending that someone has to watch all 6 hours or nothing.

I simply don't pretend that this webcam business is a real solution to the problem. It's a solution in search of a problem.

You are a "waste of time".

If you feel that way, then feel free to get lost.
