Cameras in schools have its advantages and disadvantages. Having a camera in the hallways and overlooking doors is a good way of protection. School officials would be able to monitor who is in the school and what they are doing. This is a good way to secure the safety of the students. Anyone should be able to watch the tape if they desire and have a good reason to be doing so. Schools are watching over the classrooms and are only allowing limited people view the tapes unless they go through court. A parent brings up a good point in "If my child in school is accused of something ... I would certainly want to see that,"
I believe that if there are cameras in the classroom it may change the way a teacher and their students interact with one another. This could harm the educating process by making the students and staff feel that they are being watched over at all times of the day. Both the teacher and the students should not be doing anything in the classroom that would be bad on camera but I feel that it still changes the atmosphere of the classroom. I do think that cameras can help the students feel safe but also hurt the students in making them feel watched over.
