Minors have no privacy or real rights for that matter until they reach the age of emancipation.

Gee, why are they worried about people listening in?

PUBLIC SCHOOLS = LEFTIST PUPPY MILLS.....

IT'S OUR FREAKING TAX MONEY. We can & will listen any time, any where!

[Tacrolimus1mg]

Stick a nanny cam somewhere, then watch later. That way, you have evidence!

[jdsteel]

Does that agreement suspend the school taxes for those parents? I think not.

So stuff it where the sun don’t shine.

My answer...

I’ve gone blank on her name but a woman spoke at one of our Republican group meetings last year about what teachers are filling their students’ heads with these days, and it’s appalling. Of course they don’t want the parents to sit in on these online classes. It has nothing to do with parents being able to see a few other students’ faces.

My comment would be,”What is it you don’t want me to see?” When I was going to school, the Principal welcomed parents. They needed to check in ahead of time, but that was to keep order.

Because it contains material unfit even for adults.

[Mom MD]

Oh hell no

[Ancesthntr]

Clearly, they have something to hide - all the more reason to listen in - nay, TO RECORD EVERYTHING. Then organize with other parents and protest in front of cameras.

[TChad]

Interesting. If parents can see and hear everything that goes on in the virtual classroom, then they can gossip about what a dumb mistake little Bobby made yesterday. Online classes become public entertainment.

I thought this requirement was just an attempt to hide indoctrination and low quality teaching, but I have to admit that it has merit.

[sickoflibs]

Talking to some parents of young kids where I live in Maryland and they say that their interaction is the only thing that will make the virtual school productive.

Yes, the letter is alarming, they have nerve,

[coaster123]

I recall parents, occasionally, monitoring my elementary school classes from a chair in back of the room.

[Political Junkie Too]

This would be a violation of the third amendment.

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.

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?

[Rurudyne]

Meaning: we don’t want you knowing that we’re brainfilthing your brats.

“Brainfilthing” filling a mind with progressive crap as indoctrination.

[UnwashedPeasant]

This proves parents should have access to cameras in every classroom.

[Seruzawa]

Parents have every right to know what bilge the criminals masquerading as educators are teaching their kids.

[crz]

Here is the problem.

People need to go to the school board meetings.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Parents are paying for the teachers, the computers, and the electricity (for the most part).

Tough $hit, commies.
