Be careful for that you ask. This is too Orwellian.

Would you want images of your children in school made public? Who has access to the images? Can they be used against a person years later? Do you think there will be more or less lawsuits as a result of such recordings?
Do you think bullying is only carried out inside the classroom, but not behind the bleachers (so to speak)?

I do not know the details of this woman’s case with her daughter. “Bullying” is another term that is becoming diluted in effect via its politicization. In the article I read elsewhere (I only read the headline here), she made an accusation of bullying, but the “journalist” left out what the reader needs to be informed - specific acts alleged. So we are to believe it is a justifiable grievance with no facts to support? Another high tech, internet case of an accusation made, it must be true?

Note the use of the emergence of the catch-all, nebulous concept “micro-aggression”. Is this really about two school kids who can’t get along and have to learn how to work it out, to live with such people? Is this a helicopter mother who is too involved in her child’s normal development? What does the child’s father think?

If I were the judge, I’d dismiss the charges with a warning (no more taping)/advice to contact the principal of the school to address the situation. The school administration should have just confiscated the device with a warning that next time she could be subject to legal jeopardy. But we don’t know their past dealings with her - is this the 1st time or does she have a history as a troublemaker, crying wolf, etc etc.

While I continued to be very concerned about the state of our education system, the indoctrination, the quality of the teacher and the texts, etc, ....omnipresent technology filming every second of the classroom is not going to solve the alleged problem.

I’d think only the teachers’ images should be accessible; definitely not the children’s!
