I saw how challenging it was during Covid and zoom classes. Donāt know how you all did it. I agree there are someTotally agreeā¦ itās the 80/20 rule where the 20% take up the 80% of your time. We donāt need to pander to the kooks. Teachers jobs are hard enough. They donāt need to add micromanagement from the TV audience. Kudos to you for the work you do. RespectWow, all the so called conservatives are jumping on the Big Brother train. Back the hell off and donāt be an over controlling helicopter parent. The education system will go to shit if parents are watching and complaining about everything that happens in classrooms. Nobody is going to want to teach and the school admins are going to get clogged up dealing with bitchy parents. You really donāt see that?Cameras in a class room. Infringe on the child's freedom & liberty how EXACTLY?Hahahaha, the party of small government, personal Liberty and freedom wants to put cameras in classrooms?! Are you shitting me?! What a bunch of unprincipled idiotsLeftists Freak Out at the Thought of Cameras Exposing Fanatical CRT Teachers
7 Jul 2021 ~~ By John NolteNolte: Leftists Freak Out at the Thought of Cameras Exposing Fanatical CRT Teachers
The far-left HuffPost is freaking over Tucker Carlson's suggestion that cameras be placed in public school classrooms.www.breitbart.com
The far-left HuffPost is freaking over Tucker Carlsonās suggestion that cameras be placed in public school classrooms.
āTucker Carlson Goes Full ā1984ā With āCameras In The Classroomā Proposal,ā screams the left-wing outletās headline.
āThe Fox News personality suggested police-style body cameras to check on what every teacher is telling their students,ā the sub-headline reads.
āCarlson, in a rant reminiscent of something from George Orwellās classic dystopian novel ā1984,āā author Lee Moran bleats, ācalled the teaching that racism is at least partly systemicā¦ a ācivilization-ending poisonā and āB.S.āā
Before we go any furtherā¦ Iāve read 1984 at least three times and am unfamiliar with anything Tucker said that is āreminiscent of something from George Orwellās classic dystopian novel[.]ā
In fact, Tuckerās suggestion is the exact opposite of āsomething from George Orwellās classic dystopian novel[.]ā Tucker is suggesting we monitor the government. 1984 is about (among other things) the government monitoring private citizens. So Moran got his metaphor exactly wrong, which tells me heās probably a product of government-run public schools.
Regardless, he huffs on, āHe warned āwe canāt really be sureā how far it is being spread until āwe finally get cameras in the classroom, as we put them on the chests of police officers.āā
What I found interesting about this piece is that other than screaming 1984!!!, no case or argument is made against the idea of cameras in government-run public school classrooms.
Is there one?
Is there a good argument against this kind of accountability and transparency?
~Snip~
The real issue here is just how brazenly public school teachers have become when it comes to teaching our kids pretty much everything but what they need to know. Leftists are never happier than when theyāve insinuated themselves between parent and child. Too many schools canāt teach kids to read or write, but they are sure teaching them to hate their country and all about ādemi-sexuality.ā
Tuckerās smart to bring this up, to make it part of the national conversation. Teachers and their evil unions are going to have a hard time explaining why they oppose such a thing. They will be on defense, which is exactly where they belong.
Comment:
Cameras would certainly expose incompetence, along with indoctrination and its techniques, favoritism, laziness, CRT, anything BLM, gay rights, religion bashing, white guilt/privilege advancement, etc.
Easy to see why Progressive Marxist/DSA Commies oppose this.
What have the teachers got to hide? We are in the age of Zoom and zero in-class learning. Stick a camera in the corner so those students who wish to work from home and via Zoom can. Oh, and you need to record the classes in case the student was out for some reason. All the better if the parents can review what is being taught in class.
If we demand body-cams for cops, why not cameras in the classroom?
The only thing it would infringe on is the teachers ability to do something they shouldn't be doing. Cameras would foster a safer environment.
And cameras would have zero impact on the size of government.
Simply install the camera and give every parent the pass code to view it anytime they want.
There is NO LOGICAL REASON to oppose this.
There is this, and I have stated it. All the reasonable parents--and this is most of them--will watch the camera feeds for a few days and be satisfied. The crazy parents will watch their child all day long for evidence that surely, surely Precious Petunia is being slighted (this is a tiny minority of parents, but they by far cause a huge amount of problems). Among so many other issues I can't even tell you.
Every teacher would need their own secretary to deal with issues stemming from the live feed. Will we be getting secretaries?
Thanks for the kind words. I can't imagine having done anything else with my life--and I've been teaching for my entire adult life, since I was 23. Some of the people I have taught with--no one deserves the hero label more, IMO. I have stories. And some teachers should sadly just stay away from children. I'm not at all opposed to strong oversight in my profession. But constant surveillance of Other People's Kids ain't it.
Bad apples that need to get away from the kids and in many districts it is impossible to do thatā¦ but all and all I think our schools are doing far better than our hater critics give credit forā¦. And this CRT campaign is a joke
