This WEEK in LAW Re schools, laptop cameras, and privacy: how do you feel about on-campus only monitoring, if it's disclosed? (My own $.02: would still creep me out. Imagine a school asking you to carry one of its "on-campus only" security cameras around.)

I went to a school that had installed security cams about every 30ft in the hallways. I left before they put them in the classrooms or issued laptops that could be used for monitoring. It's creepy but on campus I think administration can do it as long as it is disclosed after all you're on school grounds, but only on school grounds.

Did you hear about the issue with one school that gave their kids laptops, and the school administration punished a student for what they did off-campus, because they were monitoring them through the laptop videocams? As a former college instructor, I do believe schools should be allowed to monitor students on the school's computers when they're in... See More class, doing assignments or on school grounds. But outside of that, its a direct violation of a student's privacy, and I'd sue the butt off the administration
