Security cameras in school hallways by oot2003-08-26 18:27:59
  It's getting more common by Kickstart2003-08-26 18:31:49
    Interesting point of view... by alter3d2003-08-26 18:41:11

          True, your hyperbole doesn't hold water. by Naruki2003-08-26 19:14:03
            I'll buy your argument by alter3d2003-08-26 19:33:01
              The same thing that happens now. by Naruki2003-08-26 19:40:31

                  And camera evidence could offer by Naruki 2003-08-26 20:19:39
legal proof of what happened. At that point, he files suit against the school and subpoenas their video footage and gets his "permanent record" cleaned up.

As it is now, they go after both parties as a CYA move, since they have no idea who is _really_ to blame and they can't trust students to tell the truth.

I'd like to see your evidence that kids "in the past" weren't bullies. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to provide any.

Your solutions seem rather vague and undefined. "Education"... What education has been proven to work? What kind of proof is it? And why don't you think teaching "social skills" are the parents' responsibility anymore?

Honestly, I don't see your reaction to the idea of using cameras as anything other than blindly against it. You keep saying that it "doesn't work" and it "is a way of not dealing with the problem". But that is patently false on the face of it.

How many bullies have you heard about getting convicted? And what are the circumstances? Generally, some kid has to die or be severely beaten, there have to be witnesses, and public outrage has to be invoked. But for every 1 bully brought to justice, a thousand more go mostly unpunished and unstopped.

Cameras in schools would most definitely alleviate that problem.
