[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a HS teacher who keeps my camera on at all times, but I do want to point out that a LOT of pictures have been circulating of teachers teaching because students are leaving their cameras off and we have no idea when they recording us or taking pictures. I'm well aware of this, and frankly don't care/don't think I get noticed because I'm only 30, but I know the older teachers or ones who are struggling are always being posted on snapchat and being laughed at. While I agree that cameras should be on, [b]I think it's worth considering that while your coworkers don't take pictures and send them out with the intention to doctor them and make fun of you, ours do and the camera off can be a bit of a self protection issue[/b].

And I understand that. Because I am sick and tired of teachers telling parents of HS kids that their kids are slackers if they won’t turn the camera on.  And if parents cared they would make the kids turn the camera on. I would never make my kid turn the camera on. If they are doing this to teachers, it’s 10x worse to each other.  And my DD feels very isolated and really, really wants the camera on.   But she’s afraid. With good cause after what kids were doing last spring.  Still, if even the teachers are too cowed by bullies to turn cameras on, what message does that send to a 15 year old. [/quote]
