I’d guarantee that if a parent recorded the classroom sessions, and the parent posted the video or spilled the beans in public about salacious activity going on in the classroom, the Dems/Commies would try to charge the parent with a felony over eavesdropping laws in two-party consent states. It should be a non-starter as it’s a public school, but that wouldn’t stop the left-wing SOBs from trying.
Our district installed cameras in the school buses to discourage misbehavior. The idea was that if sweet little Johnny beat the crap out his seat mate, the district would have proof to show Johnny’s parents. But. Privacy laws would require that every other kid’s face would have to be blurred before we could show the video to the parent.
The privacy laws involving students are pretty strict. Parents, can of course, see their own kids, but not other people’s kids. Our district does allow parents to visit classrooms, but as time has gone on, it’s become much more restrictive. I as a teacher may know that little Johnny is a thug, and you as a parent may know it because your kid has told you, but I’m forbidden to name his name to you.
Dickens had it right when he wrote, “The law is a ass”.
