step outside the box and take a look at the whole thing from a diff way than your thinking right now and posting the comments about beening a little to tight with the tinfoil on the head post ..
as a parent would you not be mad if you child came home from school and told you the teacher pulled them aside into the teacher office and told your child to not to chew gum or something else in there own bedroom .for i would call the school and ask how my kid is doing somthing that you do not approve off in his bedroom was the teacher problem .
why did the V.P of the school pull the kid into the office to tell him that what he did in his own bedroom was not right ..does that not scare you one bit over how the school backdoor into the child bedroom and was spying on the kids there ....that point iam trying to make about the whole camera thing ..
Your right it was wrong, but I think your saying that the device shouldn't have a camera because of this, all Takenover83 is trying to say is that's ludicrous, instead the parent should have monitored what was being done or at least made the child or children aware.
I agree, the camera isn't the problem, its the school stepping over boundaries and the LAW. You can't stop progress, but at least monitor what is being done right or wrong and be sure the procedures like what the school induced via agreements with the school kids and parent's are not stepping over those boundaries laid out by law.
Sure. But I am not going to blame the device with the camera. YOU, the parents allowed your child to have the device, YOU the parents, signed whatever papers you needed to with whatever stipulations you agreed to if the school assigned them the equipment, you the PARENTS put your kid in that school. There is alot of dots to connect here. Blaming the equipment is not the correct thing to do. Blame the people behind the equipment. Being the parents, IT department, school, etc or whoever... If you sign a paper saying the school is allowed to activate a camera on your child's loaned device, under whatever situation, then you take responsibility for whatever comes of it, right or wrong.
You are right, he is right, we are all right, however signing the agreement does not constitute the schools actions of going beyond the law, any contract is void once one of it's signees breach the contract by breaking the law. Also a signed contract does not give any one person, business or government (the school being Government) the right to trespass on an others private property, there is remote monitoring as iPhone location for example and then there is remote wiretapping, which is in line with what the school did. Im sure that was not agreed upon in the contract the parents or the students accepted, and even if it was stipulated, its not allowed by law so its irrelevant.
I could sign a contract with you saying you can come shoot me if I disagree with you in a forum, but that doesn't mean if you do it it is right and me signing it does not give the right to forgo the law prohibiting that act. It's also called indemnity and cant be used if it breaks a law.
Either way it's no reason to remove cameras from devices such as the iPad and if the public begins to even follow the media hype, its ridiculous and nothing more than fear mongering. Just watch how the media hypes it all up, then communities get in an uproar and the next thing you know while your paying attention to this, some other ridiculous thing conspired in the meantime which the media does not cover and causes a law or issue to press beyond its considered path and should never reach congress or otherwise and goes un-noticed. Yes sometimes things such as this are even planned to create a need for a new LAW to pass, its problem - reaction - solution and one body controls it all. So just be careful, parenting isn't enough these days, you also have to mind your own statements and create solutions or else "they" will and you wont like either outcome.
Basically, sure stand up to what is right, but arguing down each other as to what is right or wrong without doing anything is worse than pulling the trigger yourself. What needs to be done is to carefully watch what is done about this subject then approach any party that acts outside the law and be sure to make it known to the public. The rest will take care of itself, but when its all behind closed doors and out here we argue without action, nothing will ever stop shenanigans such as this from spreading like wild fires.
