I recall parents, occasionally, monitoring my elementary school classes from a chair in back of the room.
SCOTUS ruled in Griswold that emanations from penumbras of the third amendment meant that agents of the state cannot monitor peoples' behavior inside their own homes.
The schools cannot force parents to not watch their children's computer and internet activity, even if that is a schooling exercise.

Would you sign the forms?
So the excuse by the school administration is they don’t want parents hearing private information about other students. Um, how private can it be if all the online kids hear it? Do they really believe parents will swallow this?
Meaning: we don’t want you knowing that we’re brainfilthing your brats.
“Brainfilthing” filling a mind with progressive crap as indoctrination.
This proves parents should have access to cameras in every classroom.
Parents have every right to know what bilge the criminals masquerading as educators are teaching their kids.
Here is the problem.
People need to go to the school board meetings.
Parents are paying for the teachers, the computers, and the electricity (for the most part).
Tough $hit, commies.
There is no such thing as student privacy.
At least not until they are 18 years old.
Before that, they are children to be guided by their parents first, and (with the parent’s approval and supervisión) by their teachers second.
I just read the article. The ostensible reason for this is that they were worried about privacy for the other students in the class. In other words, you are watching the zoom class and you are seeing the other students faces and part of their room or home in the background.
Maybe they are worried about some deranged person developing an unhealthy fixation on some student. But of course, that can happen anywhere.
“F@#K YOU” doesn’t seem to cover it. How about “F@#K YOU VERY MUCH!!!”
Two words to RCS, “Bite me”
RCS is basically saying they cannot control what is presented and/or revealed in their virtual classroom. So, they demand no adults watch what is going on.
No sale. If they cannot control themselves, they need to get a new profession (like ditch digger).
“Public” school. Not entitled to privacy. And parents are paying for it, they should not see what they’re buying?
“ Would you sign the forms?”
Tough call. I would tend to say no, but part of me wants to know what they don’t want me to see. I don’t believe for a minute it has anything remotely to do with student’s “privacy”.
No different from a baby monitor that keeps an eye on the sitter. Does that violate the sitter’s privacy?
Any parent at any time should be welcomed into any classroom with no prior notice, live or virtual.
Reason Number 458763 to homeschool.
An adult is communicating with my minor child via computer?
Um, I think monitoring that interaction is mandatory.
>>Officials at all county schools are asking parents to sign forms agreeing not to watch these virtual classes.<<
Or else what? If they say no classes and classes are mandatory that is duress and any “contract” signed under such is unenforceable.
In fact, if I was a parent and had such a form sent to me my next call would be to a lawyer for a BIG lawsuit.
The school should have gotten legal advice before acting so foolishly.
