[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have to be recorded otherwise kids were ok miss and not catch up.  It’s not like kids can stop by the classroom before or after school to discuss things.[/quote]

Are you kidding me?  If they are recorded, no one will show up to class.  And yes, there is time to meet with teachers virtually on Wed and EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

OP, I am completely against it.  My kids will not actively participate in them and I will make sure their video is turned off.  This is a privacy issue.  It is also a recipe for disaster for bullies and others who want to turn in possible embarrassing moments from the teacher or a student responding into a memes.

If you kid misses a class, they miss the whole class.  Just like a regular school day.  Who do we talk to about recordings?[/quote]

Yikes. 
Your kid is going to have a TOUGH time in life. [/quote]

Ask the pedo websites that have kids on school zoom calls rocking back and forth on their bed in nightgowns showing off their underpants if that is appropriate.

OP is right.  I too am 100% against anything being recorded and able to access repeatedly by anyone.  I won't allow my kids to participate in anything recorded. [/b] [/quote]

Same here.  No chance. I can not even believe this is even an option to record students in virtual class setting. Remember the teachers posting all of the inappropriate things they saw in the homes of these kids.  Not to mention how they talk, other conversations heard in the back round.  Just one embarrassing thing is going to be played over and over again by kids.  They are going to record it on their phone, send it to someone who then sends it out to others.

Wouldn’t these misbehaving students be able to record live Zoom anyway and share it? In which case why does it matter that MCPS is recording it too?[/quote]

If they don’t record it, the kids will be in class. Video screens on. No one will be holding up a phone waiting for a mistake to happen. The kids will sign agreements and get bumped from class if using another electronic. Only MCPS log ons will have access. If anyone else logs in, the teacher boots them out.  If the class is highly interactive and teacher is calling names, the kids won’t have time.

If you record it and allow access for 72 hours. Kids can sit there, not pay attention, rewind and rewatch funny things. Pull their phones out and record it. Send it to someone else. It anonymously gets put out in social media. They can also send any portion of the class they want to anyone. Parents can sit down and micromanage and forward blips of things they don’t like being discussed to principals and complain.

I mean what about 5th grade and up health classes? We are live zooming them and recording them? You want your kid’s sex-ed class and their embarrassing question out there for 72 hours? Parents logging in and complaining about what is taught. Another sibling or friend going into a mcps account under someone else’s name at 11pm and recording something. Then getting that child in trouble.

There is absolutely no reason to record. Not only is it unsafe, a liability, and will make kids silent, but it will slow down “live” curriculum, homework grading, and keeping the kids caught up.  The bloated upper administration in the county (not the teachers) can put together links for kids that miss class. Even that is better than if we were in school in person. Absent is absent. Some kids get info to make up. Most don’t. Internet issues?  It happens. You google what class was about and learn some. I mean these kids have the ENTIRE internet at their disposal. The only way kids will survive this is if class is live, interactive, and attendance taken. Accountability. [/quote]
