-Flushes out incompetent and lazy teachers and highlights the good ones... There are already in place cameras and other methods of 'flushing out' bad teachers will only take place when tenure is no longer a factor.

- Helps ID best practices for teacher training IDing best practices should not be at the expense of privacy of students. There are other effective methods based on research.. it's there IF boards of ed actually want improvement.. it's more the CURRICULUM utilized than bad teachers.

- Enables parental evolvement. Prental involvement should be not watching your kids (might I add the possibility of wackos on the net being 'involved'..

- Creates a record bad student behavior. As I said before there are already cameras in place for the schools with a video record if needed to record bad behavior.

The answer is not in videoing children or teachers in the classroom.. the problem is POLICY and CURRICULUM... one policy in place (follow the $$) is that children with bad behavior are labeled as BD (behavior disorder) which makes them "special needs" for which schools receive extra $$ to educate.

"There are already in place cameras and other methods of 'flushing out' bad teachers will only take place when tenure is no longer a factor."
And those "methods" are doing such a fantastic job! You're right, no cameras needed.

"IDing best practices should not be at the expense of privacy of students. There are other effective methods "
And those "methods" are resulting in such a great educational system! And students should have privacy from their PARENTS! You're right, no cameras needed.

" Prental involvement should be not watching your kids "
And parent's watching their kids is bad. You're right, no cameras needed.

" might I add the possibility of wackos on the net being 'involved'"
And password protected login and logs of who's watching could not possibly stop that. You're right, no cameras needed.

" As I said before there are already cameras in place for the schools with a video record if needed to record bad behavior."
And as I said before, they're doing such a bang up job! You're right, no cameras needed. Very persuasive…
