The school installs cameras in the classroom and monitors them 24 hours a day, so any teacher can read the records. From a legal point of view, is this allowed?

It's not illegal

A classroom is different from a student dormitory. It belongs to a public place and has no privacy. Legally, there is no problem in installing surveillance cameras in the classroom, which is no different from installing surveillance cameras on the road. Moreover, according to the requirements of classroom discipline, neither the teacher who teaches on the three-foot platform nor the students who attend the class can do anything unrelated to the classroom.

On the contrary, teachers and students do things that violate classroom discipline in the classroom, and they need to bear the consequences for their actions and be given disciplinary sanctions. In other words, as long as teachers and students strictly abide by the classroom teaching discipline, there is no privacy violation, so there is no need to be afraid of installing surveillance cameras in the classroom.

Extended information:

Face recognition technology is used to monitor students' expressions, which is anti-education.

The concept of "AI+education" quickly swept through various scenes in the education industry. According to the survey, at least five well-known educational enterprises are developing or using this technology. In addition, in many education summits and forums, "AI+education", face recognition and expression analysis are all hot words discussed by the industry.

The increasingly hot technology of face recognition and analyzing students' class status has made many students, parents and experts deeply worried: "Is it campus informationization or campus imprisonment?" "Does data collection invade students' privacy?" "Is expression recognition analysis really reliable?" "Children should learn acting at an early age."

of course, modern educational technology can be used in education and teaching, but it needs to know what education is first. Obviously, installing monitoring in the classroom, facing the students all day and collecting their expressions and actions in time, is to treat the students as "prisoners" and be monitored at all times.

The anti-educational nature of this practice is very obvious, and it is sought after by some education administrators and schools. This is because some educators and school operators forget what education is and only consider how to manage it conveniently and how to improve their grades.

The so-called AI+education improves the quality of classroom teaching, which is also based on the wrong concept of classroom quality, that is, students are only instilled and used as a tool to passively accept knowledge. This kind of indoctrination education mode is in line with the examination-oriented tendency of running schools, which is also the reason why some schools pursue the use of this kind of technology. Adopting this kind of technology is to further "refine" the examination-oriented education.

In fact, in recent years, some schools have introduced abnormal school rules that have been questioned by public opinion in order to let students devote all their energy to their studies. Under the reason of Internet+education, schools are certainly happy to carry out "innovation" that can improve their grades.

To make educational innovation conform to educational laws, teachers' committees and academic committees should demonstrate and listen to the opinions of teachers and students extensively, and leaders should not make the final decision. Driven by capital, the hype of the concept of Internet+education, and the quick success of running a school, the road of AI+education has become more and more biased, and it is necessary to clean up the source in time and return to the right path.
