Agree. Cameras are a nonstarter due to privacy issues among students and there's too many unintended consequences associated with cameras in the classroom. A better idea is to allow students to use their cell phones (or other device) to record lessons. Back in the old days we used to take record lectures in college so we could go back and review what the professor said. Recording devices should be allowed IMO. If the teacher has nothing to hide, and is sticking to the adopted curriculum, then what's the harm? This allows parents to hear what's being said if they so choose without violating privacy rights associated with FERPA.
