[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... As a teacher of special needs students.  Parents constantly don't believe the teacher about behaviors, actions, etc.  Thankfully, our school is on video camera 24/7.  This is SO useful- when students (not necessarily mine, but any of them) get in trouble and deny it- the administration can just show them and their parents the video of the incident.  Additionally, when parents insist that Larlo would NEVER have thrown a textbook in my class, let alone repeatedly day after day, and that in fact they believe him that I am the one throwing it at him, we have the video to prove otherwise.

Additionally, in the situations where students are telling the truth, or teachers are exaggerating or completely telling fallacies, or students are being bullied but there was no video - the 24/7 videos have been INVALUABLE.  [/quote]

And this is different in that all kids and teachers are videotaped so it isn’t something else calling out that something bad is happening.  Imagine if your doctor whipped out his phone to record your emotional breakdown at receiving a bad diagnosis.  That wouldn’t help you recover and it might make the meltdown worse.

I do wish my kids’ schools had video recording to identify the antecedents of behavior.  It is amazing that data is only ever available when a SPED teacher happened to be in the room. I just do not believe any teacher when they say behavior came out of nowhere. [/quote]
