A recent study by researchers at the University of California San Diego is the first detailed assessment of companies offering school-based online surveillance services such as social media monitoring, student communications monitoring and online activity monitoring to middle and high schools. Schools pay for the services directly or may request federal grant funding to cover the costs.

    Back in 2009, a High School Vice Principle watched via a student’s webcam on their school supplied laptop at night as the kid snacked on Mike & Ike candies IN HIS BEDROOM. She summoned him to her office to accuse him of taking drugs. This got her sued along with the school district who configured the school’s laptops to allow for the spying. Sadly, the FBI said there wasn’t enough to prove criminal intent.

    I won’t let that stuff on my system for any reason. I took a qualification test as part of job interview with the camera covered. Guess dodged a bullett and didn’t get the job?
