Marion Township in Pennsylvania had to pay out the nose a few years ago because of staff spying on children at home via webcams in school issued laptops.

Why are teachers being allowed to spy on students at home? I can understand having remote access to view a laptop during school hours within programs used for school. But to have unfettered access to their search history? Or unfettered access to dial in and observe whenever they feel?

> we totally stalked what they were doing on Google, when they weren’t doing school work.

The perverts at Marion School district had similar attitudes and look where that got them.
