Teacher calls cops on online student for seeing a gun in the background

[RodISHI]

Who knew teachers spying on student like SS officers would be an issue with online schooling? And now a parent is not entitled to see what is in the school file on their child?

......... According to Sperry, the spy teacher took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom, which is incredibly creepy and a violation of the family’s privacy. When the mother demanded to see the screenshot taken by the creeper-teacher, she was told she would not be allowed to view it because it wasn’t part of his official school record.

“It’s absolutely scary to think about,” Sperry said. “Who are on these calls? Who do we have viewing [our] children and subsequently taking these screenshots that can be sent anywhere or used for any purpose?”

She told PJ Media that she decided to go public in order “to push for policy change and make parents aware” of possible violations of privacy during online classes.

This incident raises some serious questions about privacy related to virtual learning. Teachers (and perhaps others who might be watching) are granted access to children’s homes and even their bedrooms. It appears from this incident that there were no rules in place preventing the teacher from taking pictures of his bedroom. How many students has this teacher spied on? How many screenshots has she taken of them during virtual classes? Has she amassed a database of her students’ home situations?

“I have explained to my son that he did nothing wrong,” Sperry said. “He said, ‘I’m just sad because I thought the teachers were my friends.'”

The school refused to comment on the specific case but told Fox Baltimore, “There are multiple ways for families to share concerns with us. In general terms, the safety of students and staff is our chief concern, whether we are meeting in classrooms or via continuity of learning.”

“So, what are the parameters? Where are the lines drawn?” Sperry wants to know. “If my son is sitting at the kitchen island next to a butcher block, does that constitute a weapon? It’s not allowed at school, right? So, would my home then be searched because he’s sitting next to a butcher block? I feel like parents need to be made aware of what the implications are, what the expectations are.” ......More at link

That teacher possibly prevented a very volatile situation. Wouldn't you like to know if your 11 year old had a gun on his desk?

Did you even read the article?

She already apologized for not reading it before commenting.

Hadnt reached that point in the thread.

Didn't read the article of anything but teachers are mandatory reporters. If a child was left unattended with a firearm within reach I can see why they'd contact their school's resources. If it was a BB gun (which I saw some say)...how realistic was it? Some are obviously BB guns, others I can see somebody who's not very knowledgeable with guns confusing it as a gun.

That teacher should be fired on the spot

no question asked

enough is enough!

Not sure about firing, but the teacher and the principal need to have a counseling statement and a policy should be be in place and signed individually by both of them. While having camera to have contact with the student may be and probably is important, it is an invasion of the family home, with the teacher as an uninvited guest observer. Teacher's have no right to sick the cops of a kid or his family. It is not bringing a gun to school. Most of the guys on this board had air rifles and actual small arms for hunting, growing up. Remote classroom is not cart blanch to inflict a teacher's values on how children are raised in the home.
I find this disturbing, as my grand daughters will be have their remote schooling, here at this console in my study, starting Monday. Even though all they will see are several book cases and my schwinn Exercise bike, it seems like an invasion of my space.

If you read the article you would know that the bb guns were on the wall in the background. It is a total violation of the privacy of the home. No excuses for this kind of crap. "For your own good" isn't working nor wanted by the majority and it sure as hell won't be accepted as the new normal.

What if the teacher notices bruises/marks on the child that are a sign of child abuse? Should they not report it because it's a violation of privacy?

Sure should. Completely different than seeing guns or knives on the walls. If she had questions, she should have contacted parents and inquired if she chose, but the teacher and principal were wrong in this case. It could have been avoided if the teacher had contacted parents. Let me know when your scenario takes place.

Should they not first communicate with their supervisor and the family and before putting big brother in the family's Livingroom?

I agree the teacher should have contacted their principal about the situation first and then let them handle it. I think the teacher handled the situation incorrectly, but my point was that the teacher should have done something.

My response was geared toward the people claiming it's none of the teacher's business. They say that until a teacher ignores an actual gun in a teenager's bedroom and that teacher then commits suicide and then everyone wants to know why teacher did nothing.

Teachers do and always have had a function to be alert for the dangers of kids or home situations being outside the norms. She should have contacted the parents and alerted principal, simply to keep him in the loop. Wrong to sick the authorities on an innocent family, simply because she comes from a different background perspective. Not at all her place, to pass judgement.

If you read the article you would know that the bb guns were on the wall in the background. It is a total violation of the privacy of the home. No excuses for this kind of crap. "For your own good" isn't working nor wanted by the majority and it sure as hell won't be accepted as the new normal.

What if the teacher notices bruises/marks on the child that are a sign of child abuse? Should they not report it because it's a violation of privacy?

Sure should. Completely different than seeing guns or knives on the walls. If she had questions, she should have contacted parents and inquired if she chose, but the teacher and principal were wrong in this case. It could have been avoided if the teacher had contacted parents. Let me know when your scenario takes place.

I agree the teacher should have contacted their principal about the situation first and then let them handle it. I think the teacher handled the situation incorrectly, but my point was that the teacher should have done something.

My response was geared toward the people claiming it's none of the teacher's business. They say that until a teacher ignores an actual gun in a teenager's bedroom and that teacher then commits suicide and then everyone wants to know why teacher did nothing.

Teachers do and always have had a function to be alert for the dangers of kids or home situations being outside the norms. She should have contacted the parents and alerted principal, simply to keep him in the loop. Wrong to sick the authorities on an innocent family, simply because she comes from a different background perspective. Not at all her place, to pass judgement.

I never disputed a word of what you stated here. I was responding to the sentiment that some have of if it's in the private home of a student it's none of the teacher's business. I was simply responding that while that's true most of the time there are times when it is not (such as a child living in an abusive home).

That teacher should be fired on the spot

no question asked

enough is enough!

Not sure about firing, but the teacher and the principal need to have a counseling statement and a policy should be be in place and signed individually by both of them. While having camera to have contact with the student may be and probably is important, it is an invasion of the family home, with the teacher as an uninvited guest observer. Teacher's have no right to sick the cops of a kid or his family. It is not bringing a gun to school. Most of the guys on this board had air rifles and actual small arms for hunting, growing up. Remote classroom is not cart blanch to inflict a teacher's values on how children are raised in the home.
I find this disturbing, as my grand daughters will be have their remote schooling, here at this console in my study, starting Monday. Even though all they will see are several book cases and my schwinn Exercise bike, it seems like an invasion of my space.

Who knew teachers spying on student like SS officers would be an issue with online schooling? And now a parent is not entitled to see what is in the school file on their child?

......... According to Sperry, the spy teacher took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom, which is incredibly creepy and a violation of the family’s privacy. When the mother demanded to see the screenshot taken by the creeper-teacher, she was told she would not be allowed to view it because it wasn’t part of his official school record.

“It’s absolutely scary to think about,” Sperry said. “Who are on these calls? Who do we have viewing [our] children and subsequently taking these screenshots that can be sent anywhere or used for any purpose?”

She told PJ Media that she decided to go public in order “to push for policy change and make parents aware” of possible violations of privacy during online classes.

This incident raises some serious questions about privacy related to virtual learning. Teachers (and perhaps others who might be watching) are granted access to children’s homes and even their bedrooms. It appears from this incident that there were no rules in place preventing the teacher from taking pictures of his bedroom. How many students has this teacher spied on? How many screenshots has she taken of them during virtual classes? Has she amassed a database of her students’ home situations?

“I have explained to my son that he did nothing wrong,” Sperry said. “He said, ‘I’m just sad because I thought the teachers were my friends.'”

The school refused to comment on the specific case but told Fox Baltimore, “There are multiple ways for families to share concerns with us. In general terms, the safety of students and staff is our chief concern, whether we are meeting in classrooms or via continuity of learning.”

“So, what are the parameters? Where are the lines drawn?” Sperry wants to know. “If my son is sitting at the kitchen island next to a butcher block, does that constitute a weapon? It’s not allowed at school, right? So, would my home then be searched because he’s sitting next to a butcher block? I feel like parents need to be made aware of what the implications are, what the expectations are.” ......More at link

Which is why I did not say the teacher should have reported the incident to the school's social worker (and definitely not the police) but rather the principal.

You still an unsupervised minor with a gun in their bedroom. That warrants a heads up to the principal who can then contact the parents. If that child commits suicide (It does happen) then that teacher has to explain how they potentially saw a warning sign but failed to report it...which guess what? Is against the law.

Not sure about firing, but the teacher and the principal need to have a counseling statement and a policy should be be in place and signed individually by both of them. While having camera to have contact with the student may be and probably is important, it is an invasion of the family home, with the teacher as an uninvited guest observer. Teacher's have no right to sick the cops of a kid or his family. It is not bringing a gun to school. Most of the guys on this board had air rifles and actual small arms for hunting, growing up. Remote classroom is not cart blanch to inflict a teacher's values on how children are raised in the home.
I find this disturbing, as my grand daughters will be have their remote schooling, here at this console in my study, starting Monday. Even though all they will see are several book cases and my schwinn Exercise bike, it seems like an invasion of my space.

Who knew teachers spying on student like SS officers would be an issue with online schooling? And now a parent is not entitled to see what is in the school file on their child?

......... According to Sperry, the spy teacher took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom, which is incredibly creepy and a violation of the family’s privacy. When the mother demanded to see the screenshot taken by the creeper-teacher, she was told she would not be allowed to view it because it wasn’t part of his official school record.

“It’s absolutely scary to think about,” Sperry said. “Who are on these calls? Who do we have viewing [our] children and subsequently taking these screenshots that can be sent anywhere or used for any purpose?”

She told PJ Media that she decided to go public in order “to push for policy change and make parents aware” of possible violations of privacy during online classes.

This incident raises some serious questions about privacy related to virtual learning. Teachers (and perhaps others who might be watching) are granted access to children’s homes and even their bedrooms. It appears from this incident that there were no rules in place preventing the teacher from taking pictures of his bedroom. How many students has this teacher spied on? How many screenshots has she taken of them during virtual classes? Has she amassed a database of her students’ home situations?

“I have explained to my son that he did nothing wrong,” Sperry said. “He said, ‘I’m just sad because I thought the teachers were my friends.'”

The school refused to comment on the specific case but told Fox Baltimore, “There are multiple ways for families to share concerns with us. In general terms, the safety of students and staff is our chief concern, whether we are meeting in classrooms or via continuity of learning.”

“So, what are the parameters? Where are the lines drawn?” Sperry wants to know. “If my son is sitting at the kitchen island next to a butcher block, does that constitute a weapon? It’s not allowed at school, right? So, would my home then be searched because he’s sitting next to a butcher block? I feel like parents need to be made aware of what the implications are, what the expectations are.” ......More at link

Teacher Spying on Student During Virtual Class Sends Cops to Search 11-Year-Old's Home After Spotting a BB Gun

That teacher possibly prevented a very volatile situation. Wouldn't you like to know if your 11 year old had a gun on his desk?

If you read the article you would know that the bb guns were on the wall in the background. It is a total violation of the privacy of the home. No excuses for this kind of crap. "For your own good" isn't working nor wanted by the majority and it sure as hell won't be accepted as the new normal.

What if the teacher notices bruises/marks on the child that are a sign of child abuse? Should they not report it because it's a violation of privacy?

Sure should. Completely different than seeing guns or knives on the walls. If she had questions, she should have contacted parents and inquired if she chose, but the teacher and principal were wrong in this case. It could have been avoided if the teacher had contacted parents. Let me know when your scenario takes place.

I agree the teacher should have contacted their principal about the situation first and then let them handle it. I think the teacher handled the situation incorrectly, but my point was that the teacher should have done something.

My response was geared toward the people claiming it's none of the teacher's business. They say that until a teacher ignores an actual gun in a teenager's bedroom and that teacher then commits suicide and then everyone wants to know why teacher did nothing.

based on the failure of teachers to actually do their job and teach
both you and that teacher need to mind your own business and fuck off,,,

As a teacher if I knowingly ignore signs of a child living in an abusive household I've violating the law. Fact.

sure,,but having a gun isnt abuse,,,

Where did I say it was?

thats what the topic is about,,,

Which is why I did not say the teacher should have reported the incident to the school's social worker (and definitely not the police) but rather the principal.

You still an unsupervised minor with a gun in their bedroom. That warrants a heads up to the principal who can then contact the parents. If that child commits suicide (It does happen) then that teacher has to explain how they potentially saw a warning sign but failed to report it...which guess what? Is against the law.

I've had a gun in my bedroom since I was 13 yrs old,,,
unless there is a GOOD reason to think abuse is happening they should mind their own business,,
a gun on the wall isnt enough,,,

That's fine but the bottom line is that if that kid kills himself-that teacher is facing severe legal consequences and loses their certification. Now we can argue whether the laws should be that way or not, but it is the way it's currently in place. The teacher would have no choice by to report it to their school if they want to follow the law. Teachers are mandatory reporters.

I too am a gun owner....I don't see how that's relevant to the topic just like yours isn't really relevant but I figured I'd be transparent.

Problem is they are considering that students home the school now. Very invasive.
