Classroom behavior has become such a huge contributor to the mass teacher exit that some states are proposing that cameras be installed in classrooms. They will not solve the issue, would be misused, and wouldn't last more than a month.
First of all, who will be monitoring them? No one can watch every classroom in real time. They will only ever be looked at afterward to verify serious behavior. It's doubtful they would have audio capability, so wouldn't even be a worthy witness and not worth the cost.
Second, parents and administrators will see what they want to see. The parents will ALWAYS find a way to blame the teacher. It will make teaching and administrating impossible.
Third, the parents of kids who are bullied will now have the evidence they need to sue. This would be a good thing, except as soon as a few prevail, the cameras will be removed and we will have spent all that money for nothing.
Fourth, they will be IEP evidence. What a giant mess that would be.
Fifth, they will violate student and teacher confidentiality. For example, when I had a baby, the only place I could pump while eating my lunch was in my classroom. When reviewing tapes, how will each student's privacy be upheld?
Fifth, they will further erode teacher respect. We spend our entire day trying to figure out which battles to pick. Teachers will look like utter weenies for allowing so much nonsense to occur during a regular teaching day.
