- How would this be more effective for monitoring teacher and/or class performance or acquiring evidence than a simple closed-circuit system of recorded classes, available as video with audio after a given minimum timeframe if someone with a material interest files a request?
- Is a surveillance state what we want to raise the next generation to be comfortable with?
- Do we need yet another government project that will (if history is any indication) will be implemented poorly and cost taxpayers far more money than it should?
Instead of starting with a solution in search of a problem, maybe we should take a step back, start with a specific problem, and then consider a variety of solutions for that problem that do not themselves make things worse overall. Which problem are we looking to address? Teacher performance? Student performance/behavior? Classroom cleanliness? Assurance of conformance to curriculum? Improvement of evidence quality relating to classroom-based incidents?

Well shit, since it will never work, let's just say "screw it" because what we have is working so well, why offer any thoughts of change?
I'm sure as shit glad multiple people in history just didn't throw up their hands and say **** it, it won't work.
Like many states, it looks like you've decided parents should have no say in what happens at school. **** the unions, **** protocols, **** what was done for years. Our kids are being manipulated and programmed and sitting back and seeing how it all ends, doesn't sit well with me.
