No! If you get used to having them around then you wont protest enough when the govt wants to put one in your yard, then your living room and so on. read (if you haven't) these 2 books. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by Gorge Orwell. They are fictional accounts of where the camera in the hall mentality ends up if we let it. Whats amazing to me is how these two books (written many years ago) tell of us.

well, really, we should. we have it at my school. however, i think it's a combination of two things. the first is schools wanting to let parents decide what sort of information to give (or not give) their children on the subject. otherwise it's just the kind of people who think that it's better to tell your kids to abstain than give them condoms because you're just "asking for it".

It sounds improbable that 4 million cameras have been installed.British Police might have installed some cameras for watching terrorists and preventing lawlessness.George Orwel may be crying in grave but situation since his days has changed needing hard options.As long as innocents are not harmed there is nothing wrong in this

A camera and film would be a good start

its a bad thing and a good thing. the good is students need it for safety, but the bad is distracting other students or probably even distract the student that has it. if i was a teacher, i would let my students bring one, but not used for inappropriate things like talking to their girlfriend/boyfriend/or some other business. school is a place to learn, not a place to mess around.

no, camera phones should not be banned. \n\ntechnology is a good thing... and the problems regarding new inventions and innovations arise because of how people use it, and not merely because of its existence...

Why not just accept the fact that the school computers are for research only. What is so important that you need to be on myspace during school hours anyway??? I am a taxpayer and I bought those computers with my tax dollars (especially because I owed this year). I'll be damned if you are going to use them to chat and play games on.

Want tell you, you would be disappointed anyway. A normal person would get nothing from this type of image. The images or of poor quality with little or no detail and these cameras were not made for perverts. That is not to say you are a pervert but I don't no why else you would ask you question in such a manor.

I think that students remember things more if the subject creates an emotional connection either with a visual picture, experience, or auditory sounds.\n\nI have recently started trying to make little music videos and mini movies to teach concepts to my students. It's amazing how it has increased their knowledge base, vocabulary, and motivation level.

most public high schools have cameras. They can be in the hallways, classrooms, food lines, gyms, bascily anywhere expect the bathroom and locker room.\n\nSome schools have cameras outside too.

Students in any school throughout the globe shouldn't be bringing cell phones to class. They should be turned off, but since I suppose most people forget to do that, then perhaps it should be legislated against. \n\nThis is because it is very disturbing to the classroom environment. If people could just learn to be polite about this, then I think they should be allowed IN school for use between classes. Again, as long as it is neither disruptive nor counterproductive (as in makes you late for class or too distracted to pay attention.)\n\nReally they should be used for emergencies only.

Hmm. Well, there are not too many reasons why it would be good not to have them.\nHowever, from a legal stand point, a school could feasibly leave themselves open for litigation. By having the cameras there, one has a false sense of security that someone is 'keeping an eye' on them. \nI have to say that there are more reasons to bring them into the schools. Especially if there is a history of violence (fights, drugs, ganges, etc.) in the school. In many instances, it would not be a 'He said, She said'. There would be photographic evidence to back up a claim.\n\n--- And, this is not an invasion of privacy if the cameras are in public places. There is no expectation of privacy in any place other than a bathroom. \nLikewise, minors have very limited rights as far as law is considered. If there is an issue, a parent can petition their removal. But, as I stated above, any rational parent would want this added security measure.

please furnish me the source of your information that 56% child monsters work. i think that is exaggerated figure. it is better if they go to toilets at home and under unavoidable circumstances some body in school is to take them and i do not think it is wrong

lol my friend and I were talking about that one day. She said that if a girl wants to have sex she needs to use a dildo. They would help with the teen pregnancy and with all the std's . I said yea but that would be really weird to teach in school. my answer will be no im sorry that would be strange to teach in school.

a pin-hole camera (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera)\nor kaleidoscope (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaleidoscope)\nmay be interesting projects.

I don't think Cell Phones and PDAs should be allowed since students may spend lot of time playing with (and showing off) the  cool features of these gadgets. Also, some features can be misused (eg. camera phones). For communicating during emergency situations, I am sure school phones can be used.
