A private organization can do anything that it wants to do.  That's why the boyscouts can ban gays.\n\nAlso, what are the ADVANTAGES to interviews?\n1) ensures a child of a certain behavior\n2) probably ensures a certain type of family\n\nPersonally, I'd want my toddler to be around nice kids from good families.

If your child is causing other children harm their is a proper way many teachers are thought to restarint a kid. Other wise I dont think you are suppposed to.

It would fall under verbal assault.  This isn't illegal (criminal), but it's civilly actionable.  I would suggest that if school isn't doing something about it, go to the local press.  Make a big stink.  Schools are really touchy about this kind of thing right now and would do anything to avoid a big public display of their failure to take proper care of children.

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.

It doesn't matter to me, but people should have the option to opt out of saying it if they feel strongly that their children shouldn't say it.  They should at least observe some sort of silence as respect while it's being said.

froggy,\n\nIf the "policy" of this school is not to communicate through students, then the teacher was definitely in the wrong for sending a reply to you through your daughter, regardless of the offensive statement.\n\nThe statement, mind you was ignorant and offensive...that sort of thinking has no place in schools and absolutely no place in the minds of teachers...who, of all people should not place preferences for "real" or biological parents versus what, "un-real" parents, who made no genetic donations to children they care for and raise as their own?\n\nIf anything, these are the folks who should be held as the ideal, and get positive attention, instead of being shunned as someone who isn't a REAL parent...\n\nPlease...I wanna know, who is this ignorant ******?  Which State made the worst decision ever, and granted this person a teaching certificate?\n\nMs froggy, I would not rest until I get this person in front of the school principal to explain herself.  Go to the county school board if you get no satisfaction there, and to the media if you're still getting ignored.  There is no place for thinking like that.

I believe they should be completely banned.\n\nBut sadly in some cases, they are not.\n\nThis is because of those teachers who do not know how to control their students except by violent methods.

I seriously doubt it was on their resume.  Unless the teacher in question had been tried and convicted before, there isn't a way of knowing.  You can't ask during the interview if you molest children.  You can't tell one by looking at one.  I don't understand the point of your post.  Do you believe the school interviewers actively chose a sexual deviant as the lesser of two evils?  Would you like to be congratualated on your clever sarcasm regarding an issue that has had a severe impact on real lives?\n\nGood for you-- you're very clever.

all other things being equal, no, they should not raise children because these behaviors represent a deviance from normal societal behavior and children should be exposed to it as little as possible.  Of course, there will be exceptions.

I have lots of Muslim children at school and it is not a hobby of theirs.  They tend to like soccer instead.  I've gone to some of their homes and the parents don't have any long knives or anything on display, so I'm going to say no for them too.

I don't get it.  The problem with this debate is that there are too many Squares that must follow the rules. Given how much a job in the US means to an immigrant's family I feel that it is okay to look the other way.   Plus anything that makes it illegal for Children here in the United States to get an Education or go to the hospital because they'd get arrested is complete BS.

I'm definitely against it.  The appalling thing is that it is still allowed in many states in the US and in many other parts of the world.   There was a question here yesterday about it  - I wish I could remember exactly where it was, but it was listed somewhere in the Education section - and one of the people who answered listed all the states where it is still permitted and I was quite surprised.\n\nIf you think about it, we try to teach our children to not hit, and that it is not ok for them to hit smaller kids especially.  Corporal punishment teaches children that it is ok for bigger people to hit smaller people!!!  How illogical is that!!!  And you know what happens then - those who get hit by someone bigger go on to hit someone smaller.  It also perpetuates bullying in schools, as that is what corporal punishment boils down to - a form of sanctioned bullying.\n\nChildren learn from us not so much by listening to what we say but by observing what we do.  I'm not religious, though I am spiritual.  If we all lived by the Golden Rule we wouldn't even ask if corporal punishment was ok.  Interesting, isn't it, that in the days of "spare the rod and spoil the child" people chose to ignore the Golden Rule.

Yes! Great idea. Then I could ask all of my naughty questions without getting in trouble.\n\nBut there is really no way to enforce it. You know if the kids saw a section for adults only, it would be the first place they went.

If it is bad to record someone w/o their knowledge or approval that is dumb.  That means cameras in store should be removed.  Banks should go w/o them too.  \n\nIf it is just to record them bad, if it is to catch them in the act gooooooood.
