well! my school banned the use of any browser except microsoft edge and installed a new surveillance program onto every school laptop to make sure that we can't use them at all :))))
#also they can now view everything we search and download and every website we visit and every program we open or work on
#they can see when we're working/not working and also it put new restrictions on websites we can/cannot view
#im still digging to see if they can look thru our cameras tho. i question the legality of that but i wouldn't be surprised if they could.
#by They i mean admins and teachers. literally any of them can watch what we're doing at any given time. including at home :)))
#i wonder if i can somehow start a movement to get rid of it. i know both students and some teachers would prolly join in
#i may talk it over with my english teacher to see if he can offer advice for how to contact the admins for that
#just. i NEED other browsers for class. like legitimately a lot of the sites and stuff we need are blocked or dont work in edge
#idk how my history class is gonna work now bc we need to use chrome to view a lot of our blocked videos bc the system blocks any -
#- supposedly controversial topics. aka racism homophobia xenophobia antisemitism etc etc. which are major topics in my history class 😐
#also english class too
#and science sometimes
#just. i hate it. there's too much surveillance in my opinion. the system restrictions were already enough. we don't need teachers to have -
#- the ability to watch everything we do on our laptops.
#this is coming right after our governor considered making schools legally required to put live feed cameras in every single room inside -
#- school buildings except for bathrooms. any teachers could tune in to watch any classroom at any time. thats a fucking awful idea
#like. okay it might discourage a couple fights. but you'll also be giving creeps access to watch your kids at any given time
#it would be shockingly easy for someone to steal a teacher's login to watch a kid and figure out their schedule
#its a safety hazard. i could not see any way this could go well
#also just.. think of the mental health implications ffs. it cant be good for kids psychological well-being to know that you're being --
#- monitored 8 hours a day 5 days a week 10 months a year for 13 years of your life. like that's gonna absolutely fuck ppl up
#its different in a business setting of course. cameras are obviously fine there for security purposes. but schools???
#outdoor cameras are fine and cameras near the entrances or major hallways could be okay but inside every single room?? thats too much
#also like.. so many kids will inevitably get in trouble for shit they didn't do bc cameras can only pick up so much
#you KNOW ppl are gonna get in trouble bc of a bad camera angle making it seem like they were doing smth they weren't
#also just. more ppl are gonna get in trouble for harmless shit.
#joking w a friend? trouble. doodling instead of writing? trouble. going on coolmathgames in class? trouble.
#OH. also i forgot to mention but parents could watch the cam feeds too. which is awful
#itll be a fucking nightmare for closeted queer ppl or ppl with abusive family or ppl who wanna talk to a counselor without parents knowing
#also. creepy parents will absolutely take advantage of it. it's just bad all around.
#sorry this devolved into a huge rant about surveillance in schools. i just have a lot of opinions.
