ehh, maybe if it was only a mic and not video maybe it should be open to the public?
To: Beelzebubba
It would be simple and inexpensive to have a mic in each room, uploading to the Internet for parents, students, and taxpayers to listen to.
Better yet...to save time, just send the audio recordings with written transcriptions to the law offices of the local crank who plans to sue because religion was referred to, omitted from instruction, or portrayed in a positive/negative light.

Taping also could be a study aid. No professional teacher should object to having their class recorded so that the student could review/study later.

I wonder if his 20 minute rant was part of his lesson plan for the day. It'd be interesting to see his lesson plan for that day.

Exactly. That's what I always used such things for, and that was my first thought when these stories started coming out about the teachers complaints.

NOW, THAT would be great.....a mic in EVERY classroom...above a certain level, I suppose. Think of how those teachers would teach THEN!!!!

"taping should be viewed as quality control." And "quality control" in the schools is WAY PAST DUE.....this needs to get some legs...

He has Indymedia on his extra credit list! If dad knows what this is, the klaxons in his head should have been blaring.

If dad didn't know, dad should've checked. Jeez, I love parents who spend more time checking out what kind of car they're going to buy than what kind of education their kid's getting. SHEESH.

we wouldn't need 10% of the bricks and mortarOr the fleets of school buses .... There is no doubt in my mind that this is the direction education will go in the future, but it will probably evolve through home schooling partnerships with private enterprise. The teachers' unions in concert with the Democratic party will fight it tooth and nail, but in the end they will lose.

The Orwell crowd would freak over the idea
Indeed. As well they should. The notion of mandatory government education is supposed to give the sensible people the creeps. At least putting it on the record means that this indoctrination does not proceed in secret.

And imagine the web sites devoted to the moronic things that public school teachers say. Not just the political indoctrination, but the pure moronic ignorance that some will undoubtedly display on occasion. This kind of "open classrooms" reform would flush the bad teachers and keep the good teachers.

Bennish sounded more to me like a guy who spent his time the night before on DU and hadn't prepared his lesson plans.

Heard a clip of Matt interviewing him on the today show. They stated that Sean's family shopped the tape around to Conservative "right wing" talk shows and Matt said it sounded like Sean bated the teacher.
