Most schools sadly have a broad reach when it comes to disciplining students. If you’re from the United States you know they can suspend you for behavior off campus but this is just too creepy and an overreact of Government Authority.

Not only is it an invasion of privacy but Big Brother is watching you and your family change, eat and do whatever. If I get dressed, the school could be watching me. If I have a child and they are gone and I go naked around the house the school sees me and takes photos of me. Thing’s like this bother me. This is going to be a huge story I already can see it.

If this is true, it's an extreme invasion of privacy. Passing out laptops to students and not telling them they can be activated remotely is sick. Being as cynical as I am, I'd even consider the possibility of whoever does the spying being a potential pedophile.



Even if that isn't the case, what occurs in the privacy of one's home should remain private. There may something to be said for capturing evidence of abuse or the like, but it's still a violation of privacy and not applicable in the majority of homes besides. I hope this is just an overblown lawsuit and not what actually happened; or worse standard practice.

How appropriate =D

And yeah, thats going way too far.

That's just insane. Why would anyone do this? Setting up all that, just so you can look into students' private lives to find something to punish them for.

I just don't understand it.

The abuse for this is just too unthinkable. Someone hacks into your computer from school and all of a sudden you have pictures of the unpopular kid or most popular girl undressing.

This is a nightmare waiting to happen.

I think chris hansen is involved in some way!

Ha I wonder how many high school males will get the internet is not for porn talk from a principal. I just want to hear of one of them say " If it is not for that then what is it useful for".

Seriously, schools have been treating students more and more like inmates ever since Columbine. Apparently NO ONE is above suspicion. It's a system mired in paranoia. "Oh noes! Did you see that child pantomime a gun at that big guy? That big guy must be a bully that the small kid wants to shoot! OH NO! They're hugging now: arch-enemies pretending to be friends! Investigate at once!"

Oh, and I just think it's stupid for fights to get both students in trouble. It should only be the instigator. I've seen plenty of fights start off of as "I heard from my friend's, sister's, boyfriend's cousin that you looked at my girlfriend in a weird way!" Why does the other guy get in trouble? He defended himself? How awful. He didn't want to get beat up. Let's punish him for that.

Those are allegations by the family. I doubt they are activating cameras to spy on people. I'm betting it's more likely that they have the ability to see images that have been recorded by the camera. It's the school district's computer and they would be held liable if students were using it for illegal activities.

Not true, as long as the customers are programmed with remote access and are connected to the internet it's not a problem at all. Anyone you give remote access too can see anything on your computer. I know MSN MESSANGER used to have it as a feature but I do not think it does any longer

I remember a whole bunch of people brought long leather jackets to school the next day to protest the repercussions which everyone knew what was going to happen.
