Parents don't want metal detectors, don't want dogs, don't want police, don't want parents interfering. There's really no excuse for chucking your kids in a building and hoping you get to pick them up the way you left them off...mentally and physically.

I understand that but parents face an ARMY of people potentially working against them, for more hours of the day, and with an inability for the kids to push back.

In the words of UD, " I have no dog in the fight" since I have no kids in school. What I do have is anger regarding the school system basically from top to bottom. I'm tired of hearing bullshit about masks, and CRT, and components of the curriculum that have far less to do with education and far more to do with indoctrination. If it takes and Army of Karens to confront an army of educators, then so be it. I'll be in the Karen camp.

Stupid shit like test questions that ask: "If Donald Trump tells 10 lies in a week, how many lies will he tell in a year?"

How proud we must be that we care more about how our dogs are treated all day than our kids...because "privacy"

I appreciate it. It's not agenda. It is opposing an agenda. Sorry you couldn't see that.

You’re. Fighting a lot of issues. To make a class camera visible there are a slew of “privacy” and “approvals” needed by all to be on camera yet alone the vetting of who is allowed to watch in order to make the riff raff can’t just jump in for their personal pleasure. Effectively it will be a live broadcast where even the actors union could get involved if one little girl ever went to a beauty pageant

And yet there are school plays and talent shows all the time with no lawsuits. I get it, you're satisfied with the status quo. All good.

Somehow they manage to only let a parent pick up a child at school or a designated alternate with proper ID, but we just haven't got the smarts to figure out how to only let certain people log in to a school system. I wonder how we manage to have multiple people log in to the stock market without them seeing everyone else's accounts?

Would the OP agree to cameras and microphones in his workplace, with public access to anyone, regardless of their knowledge of his field? In addition, it would allow the public to file complaints and lawsuits against him as they see fit?

We have cameras...and I'm not a formative child trying to navigate my way through formative years.

Our feed is not available to anyone without a log in and password. I have no idea how they manage that since it seems everyone believes the school feeds will be on the jumbotron in every stadium.

If there is reason to sue on video recordings, then there should be a lawsuit. Maybe if the schools or parents lost a few lawsuits they'd get their shit together.

Little Johnny gets hit but no one saw it so it so it's his word vs the teacher or other student? Is that a better solution?

If my kid got punched I'd want to be saying hey, look at the footage from 1:15 in room 211. Bam ! There it is. If he was accused of punching someone and it never happened or someone else did it...there it is.

My sincere apologies for a) an attempt at an actual discussion and b) the attempt to pull heads out of sand and recognize there is a problem.

I didn't mean to disrupt everyone saying good morning to each other with such trivial nonsense as the health and well being children or the erosion of the educational system.

Anyone have a picture of some food so we can get back on track?

o.k, I work in Acedemia. The local county school district takes up about half of the campus during the day with classes for HS kids.

Have you seen how much money the school districts don't have to spread around? Hell, it took them 6 weeks to get funding approved for ten 15' patch cables for their own switches/patch panels. That's insane and it was due to budgeting.

where do you think these cameras would come from? Not like they are going to real in salaries of over paid indoctrinators. Guess who get sto pay for it.... you via property taxes even if you don't have kids in school...or even have kids.

I know a few teachers so yes, I'm aware of the funding issues. Somehow we find funding for NATO, funding for the UN, funding to send fkn weapons to the Ukraine, funding to build a fake White House so Joe can pretend he's there, funding for research into the force a toilet seat exerts on the toilet bowl when it slams down, but where kids and elderly are concerned..."Uh-oh, sorry, we're out of money". My taxes paid for all the shit we left in Afghanistan. Tell me where that money would have been better spent.


Where there is a will there is a way. Every prison has cameras and I don't give two shits if prisoners all kill each other...but look how they are monitored and protected.

So for those keeping score...

Dogs > prisoners > kids

Edit: Not being able to afford it, does not make it a bad idea.

I get yer point Aero about keeping an eye on teachers and not spewing leftist or righty bullshit.
Think it's apples and oranges if talking that and behavior issues.

There is benefit to watching both. If I had kids in school and I saw them goofing off instead of paying attention, I'd nip it in the bud as opposed to waiting for a report card or parent/teacher conference when it's too late.

They'd know I have my eye on them (whether I do or not) and would act accordingly. I think the end result would be better behaved kids with better grades.
