[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our teacher did this when my son started exhibiting bizarre behaviors in K and she wanted us to see him in action. He was not doing the behavior at home so video was helpful.  I also take video of some of his behaviors to show to his specialists.  Video clarifies in a way words can’t.  Unless the video was being used to shame the kid, I’m not bothered by this at all.  Not sure why everyone assumed the ops teacher was doing this in a nefarious way instead of a supporting way.

OP said the parents did not give permission. Huge difference [/quote]

NP.  My kids' teachers have done this on occasion and I have not given explicit permission for them to do so.  I signed the photography waiver at the beginning of the year, not sure if that covers this or not.  I, too, have no problem with staff doing this, as the PP noted, that it conveys much better than words what's going on.  I've shared with them video of my kids.  I've also had teachers share video with me of one of my kids having a great moment - one special ed teacher recorded him reading his first words independently.
