[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students should have cameras ON as a default so that teachers can make sure they are paying attention. It's too tempting to fool around if they are off.
Of course they can turn them off if they need to leave or take a call or  talk to their parents for a minute.

Private schools I know require cameras ON at all times.[/quote]

Private schools do NOT record their children.  So they can ask that of the families. I work in one.  There is one class, you miss it.  You miss it.  All cameras on, flipped classrooms.  The entire class is interactive. 
 
MCPS wants to record and it is a liability.  Not only will people black their screen out for privacy, but many will do it just to good off on their phone, sleep, play video games etc...  And that is only the kids that do show up.  Teachers will be lucky if half the kids in any class are there now.  They could have EASILY done flipped classrooms as well and not recorded a thing.  But MCPS doesn't think outside of the box and doesn't like to offer options.  So they are stuck with 72 hour recordings and a lot of non participation.  [/quote]

Don't you want to wait to find out whether there is a lot of non-participation before declaring that there is a lot of non-participation?[/quote]
