New state law requires cameras in special education classrooms

A new state law is bringing expanded monitoring into special education classrooms across Louisiana, requiring continuous audio and video recording in certain instructional settings.
District leaders said the measure is designed to protect vulnerable students, support educators and provide accountability when serious concerns arise.
The legislation, called Act 479, mandates that all self-contained special education classrooms be equipped with cameras that record 24 hours a day.

I believe this is already happening in Texas

Why stop at self-contained rooms? They should be in all classrooms

Should have said "to protect vulnerable teachers."

I wonder if this will backfire like the police bodycams did. Insane what some teachers have to go through because parents don't believe their kids are acting like lil arse holes.

And “To protect the school board from frivolous litigation”

Yes it is. By law, they aren't turned on unless a parent, teacher or administrator requests them to be on. I worked as a teacher in a self-contained, low functioning, non-verbal autism class for a couple of years and requested them to be turned on just to be careful and make sure we had daily documentation of interactions between myself, my paraprofessionals and my students. My thinking was that it was better to be safe than sorry.

This is going to sound harsh and cruel, but it's the truth.
The reason our public education system is so terrible is because all of the funding and attention go to the bottom 10% while the top 10% are basically ignored and the remaining 80% are just there to securing funding and eat.

That won’t be far behind. There are pros and cons, but the Big Brother surveillance age is upon us.

Should be all classrooms, everywhere, and accessible by parents.

Accessible by parents? Eh, only if there’s an allegation. Otherwise, I don’t want some potential creeper watching my kid during class with a continuous feed.

+1 but have them with a built-in machine gun that shoots the violent people.

I never understand this position when I see it. Rolling out BWC didn’t “backfire”, outside of people trying to knock down the strawman that the purpose of BWC was to show that police are bad; it wasn’t. The purpose was to end all the he said/she said nonsense. Someone has a complaint? Cool, run back the tape. We’ll know within the hour whether the complaint has legs instead of having people bitch back and forth for the next several years. Now, were the loudest voices people concerned about police misconduct? Sure, but that’s because in a he said/she said, law enforcement was going to win every time. Now the playing field is equal, and it removes a tremendous amount of aggravation for both sides.
Eta: And as proof that it didn’t “backfire”, I would challenge anyone to find me an example of a “community advocate” type calling for getting rid of BWC. I’ll be surprised if you can find a single one.

WTF would this "prove"?
But here you go, got 3 for ya:
Civil Rights Group: Police Body cams miss the mark
ACLU: Should we reassess police body cams?
Why some activists no longer support the use of police body cams
Dindu's hate the body cams because they can no longer holler injustice when it's now easily shown they are violent animals.

I support them being in all classrooms so parents can see if their children are being indoctrinated into the tranny religion or other non-educational isms.

Did you actually read any of the articles you linked? Here, I'll help:

Civil Rights Group: Police Body cams miss the mark
quote:
The Leadership Conference recommends that police departments address privacy concerns, allow civilians who are recorded to view the footage, limit officer discretion in terms of when to record, prohibit officers from viewing the footage before they file their reports and limit law enforcement for retaining the footage.

ACLU: Should we reassess police body cams?
quote:
A major new study of body cameras and the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that was released last month found that the wearing of body cameras had no statistically significant effect on the number of use-of-force incidents and civilian complaints recorded. How much of a reassessment of body cameras should this study prompt? First of all, let’s note that this study was only focused on one aspect of body camera police oversight — their deterrent effect on officers inclined to engage in abusive or unprofessional behavior — which is only one possible benefit of the technology from a civil liberties perspective. It does not have implications for other potential benefits of body cameras such as resolution of factual disputes in critical incidents or other situations where complaints have been lodged against officers, better training, better overall police transparency and accountability, and increased trust between police departments and communities.

He said body cameras were among the technology the commission noted in its report – but he points to a 2019 study that found body cameras had little to no impact on police behavior in Washington, D.C. He believes spending millions on body cameras is a mistake, and the money would be better spent addressing the root causes of crime. “The role of policing in America has expanded so much that they're put in a lot of situations and are left holding the bag for a lot of society's problems,” Dwight said. “So, they are sent to interact with a community member that might have mental health issues and needs help or because of poverty, a resident might not have been able to update their tags on their car and then the police officer is sent into that situation that often for Black St. Louisians ends up in jail.

Of the three articles, only one, the last one, actually calls for the ending of BWC, and only because it's an objection to the cost of $6MM. The articles are also from 2016, 2017, and 2020, respectively.
If that's the best you can come up with, I'd say thank you for illustrating my point

Facts. Unfortunately, bad kids with zero home training and no respect for adults or authority get thrown in with ‘special ed’
This will backfire just like the body cams. I’m all in favor of the cameras, but it’s not going to work out like some people think it will.
Some kids simply should not be in school with regular kids.

I doubt any evidence, including video, will convince a lot of them that their baby did anything wrong.

They may not like what they see if the children misbehave.
