Just keep the camera on the teacher.
Guilty until proven innocent?
This is not the way. Subjecting workers of any profession to this kind of tyrannical surveillance is a violation of human rights and dignity. There are good patriotic teachers out there that do not deserve this treatment.
We need to rebuild our society on a foundation of trust and integrity, not big brother spying on everyone.
There are good patriotic police who strap a camera to their lapel every day too. It saves their ass more than it hurts them. You ever drive with a dashcam? Makes you a betfer driver, and when someone hits you, its all on camera. We are talking about our nations most precious resource and our future. There are things your kids teacher can do that are worse than what the police could do to them, and Id rather have my kids in police custody than a teachers unless they are on camera. Sorry to the few who feel a level of distrust is not warranted for their misdeeds. The reality is that one bad egg will spoil the bunch
Police are doing things that are life or death and those videos are evidence
School is not even remotely similar.
If you're going to send your kid somewhere every day where you're worried about what's going to happen to them the solution isn't to film it.
I drive a school bus and there are 5 cameras on each bus. They have every angle covered
Yea. I went through thru the same thing with my kids. Someone stole an expensive item out of their backpack. When we asked for the security cameras- were told they were not for our consumption. Think they would have said that if it was one child accosting another?
Did that question just make you wonder to yourself “depends on the color”? Well, that’s how 24/7 recorded life will be. It will groupthink activated only for certain favored groups and desires public social positions, and NEVER for the everyday person.
If you think they are doing that for the safety of the students I have a bridge to sell you.
It's a liability issue for the school district.
Unfortunately it takes actual video to get a bad teacher fired. They don't just leave on there own when someone announces no more bad teachers.
So we should take cameras out of banks and stores too so people can have their privacy and not be "subjected to tyrannical surveillance" and feel like they have been violated. It is FAR more likely that you work in a place that has a camera on you at all times than not. Children are more important than money. Its also far more likely that a teacher might try to indoctrinate your child than rob a bank, but we dont point the cameras away when a teacher walks into a bank. You can expect to be on camera at least 50% of the time after you walk out your front door if you live in a metro area, and maybe more when you are in your house.
Who’s in charge of reviewing and releasing the videos? Same thing as who counts the votes? Be careful of the nightmare you wish for
If children are so important don't send them to places alone you think they'll get hurt.
Body cams on police are a good thing. So is cameras public school teachers.
How are you proposing this will work? Are you suggesting that every classroom also have a full-time camera operator? Should the teacher be forced to only stand in one place? What happens when the teacher needs to be near a student?
if they are teachers in public schools providing a public service paid for by government taxation, absolutely, if you have a right to film police officers doing their job then you should have the same right to film public school teachers indoctrinating your children.
As a patriot teacher in a public school, I can tell you this will send many good teachers into early retirement. Especially in this day and age of every single thing can be a micro-aggression and everything a white teacher says and does is racist. How would you like teaching history or social studies in that type of context?
The real answer is what Trump and other conservatives have been calling for for years: school choice. Then you could put your kids where you like with whom you like.
No... this type of thing should be setup where your child's daily schedule is in the computer and you login to the server then you can only view the classroom your child is in based on their schedule. Zero doubt in my mind this could be setup to restrict viewing for privacy. Sure it can be hacked but I don't know many people who would commit a felony just to look at the back of a bunch of kids head and a teacher standing in front of a class... that's one freaking smoking hot teacher. Its not like there would be a camera in the locker room or restrooms.
In fact cameras like this would be very useful during things like fires and active shooters.
You have no self, and are allowed no privacy when other peoples kids are involved. If you cant accept that, move on to another profession where you are literally just as likely to be on camera all day. Nobody else is bitching about their privacy qhen they are on camera all day working at walmart, or the post office, most restaurants, banks. The list of professions qhere you are unlikely to be on camera is smaller than the list where you may maintain "privacy" in your public place of work. There is nothing peivate about a public school, and ill bet ya, ill fucking bet ya that most private schools have cameras on the teachers.
