Thread: Cameras in school

Like all privileges you have to keep in mind that it is a privilege....having said that, it only takes the irresponsible use from a few people to have these privileges revoked. Is it fair to punish everybody for the actions of a few people? No, not really but is it truly possible for teachers who face a 1/30 ratio not in their favor to monitor everybody to insure that the few bad eggs act responsibly? Unfortunatly no so.......overall the only action possible is to remove cameras from school so that no one is hurt.

Hmm that is one way put it.But in a school were I went they had some cameras in the bathroom.The rest I found out was because we got into a fight and broke the glass and saw it..So in most schools cameras are becaming more like a problem that helping.Schools which should only use them are ones that have a high level of problems from students.This way the school saves money to use on other things and buy more equipment for the class.

I've never heard about this :/ but cameras are for school security and so the school can't be sued so I don't think cameras wont be going away that easily.

I guess the question is are we discussing security cameras or personal use cameras. In the case of security cameras.....then no they are probably not going to be removed as they are part of school property an as such there for school security. However, if we are discussing cameras for personal use ie taking pictures of friends.....then abuse of this will most surley have the privilege revoked.

P.S. Jon f that whole camera in the bathroom thing creeps me out o~0. Where I live that is a big invasion of privacy no no

ya we got people postin camera's in the hallway cuz like alotta stuff is gettin stolen n like alotta other bad things. first, maybe the school is bannin camera's cuz they think if the camera gets stolen, they will be held responsable iight? but also ive heard that many kids want to video tape the teacher for a lesson that they need help in, and without the teachers approval or bein video taped, the video will be deleted and the camera will be taken away, but i cant find any other reason for that, cuz that thing ^^ up there only applies to classrooms. so ws\e that rule is gay

Then what about the problems of smuggling video/cell phone cameras into the locker rooms... The traditional drilling holes in the wall of the girl's locker room was a bad enough problem. Modern technology enables someone to hide a camera among the light fixtures, benches, or someplace else (such as shoe tops)

thx len, i didnt know that, cuz im inna all boys skool, and our lockers are far away from the bathrooms, but like for a skool like ours (all boys) i dont think cameras should be banned, cuz that prob that u said len, doesnt rele affect us.
