So far, Biloxi is the only school district in the nation to install Webcams in every classroom — nearly 500 so far. But school districts in cities nationwide and in England are experimenting with classroom Webcams for security reasons, installing the affordable cameras in hallways and selected classrooms and planning devices for future schools. One security firm says it's negotiating with an undisclosed urban district to install 15,000 cameras so security personnel can keep an eye on classes, hallways and parking lots.
I found out in 1992 that they where using electronic mind control in schools in london, so i would not be surprised.

Like I said, I don't know if this is, indeed, what is happening at my child's school, but if it is, hopefully you share my concern over the idea of our kids being surveilled on a random basis. Doesn't that task fall under the job duties of the the teacher? Is it now the circumstance that the teacher is not sufficient to handle one classroom to the point we must resort to having the school staff, the police, or some branch of the government spying on them as well?
Take a gander at the link above, and then wonder again why you are "shocked" over this. You ought to be glad that the school is concerned about the safety of your child, and that of the classmates.
The installation of a web cam based surveillance system does not require TV's to be put into classrooms. It would only require small cameras in them. So the TV's are there to serve another purpose.

Could it be Big Brother Obama wants to speak to your kids? Without you listening.
Second line Bah~
Combine all that with how kids have to go through metal detectors, in some cases sniffing dogs, and I'm sure you can quickly realize something is wrong.

Blanca, you are comparing apples to oranges. So I'm not allowed to be shocked by something that isn't the equivalent of what's in your link? Please....
You're here on ATS often enough.. . . yet you cannot see the bigger picture, can you? There's some coffee brewing, Blanca, time to wake up and get a whiff of that aroma.
When my daughter came home from her very first day of school, about twelve years ago, I asked her what she learned that day (as I did every day for a long time) and she told me "I learned how to have the policeman arrest you if spank me."
