School Spies on students through the laptops provided to them.

The Lower Merion School District made the headlines in the newspaper. Why? Well they did something unusual that most sane schools don't do. However this insane school had teachers provide students with laptops from the school that had webcams to spy on the students. The webcam can take as many as 20 photos of who ever was using the laptop or was in the perimeter of the webcam. The spying plan was unveiled by a student. He claimed how the teachers told him why he misbehaved in a certain way at home, etc. However the superintendent said they have now abandoned this practice. Also the only reason they did this was because they had 40 or more missing laptops from the school and was using this system to prevent future robbery of school laptops.http://www.nbc-2.com/Global/story.asp?S=12029400
