I think children should be allowed to bring mp3 players to school (provided it has a volume control that doesn't go above the threshold for making children deaf.) I see no reason why a course can't be recorded. We had a teacher smash the head of a mentally retarded child onto the floor during two separate incidences, unprovoked too. She was taking her stress out on the child. I suggested videos could be installed into the school classrooms so parents can be sure their children aren't being hurt. I was willing to donate money towards buying the equipment, as well as locate people that could install it. I was surprised there wasn't any interest or followup. But now I realize why there wasn't. The school doesn't have the student's best interest in mind, it has the school's interest in mind. A video/voice recording could too easily become evidence against a teacher that abuses students. You would think a school would be more than happy to support catching a teacher that should be fired for abuse, but it's truly amazing to see they are not. I think video in schools will become the future. There's no reason why a parent can't be apart of the school process, as well as ensure their child is not being hurt in school. I think installing video into a school classroom, would quickly end some of the bullying you see happen in schools. No school could ignore bullying if it's caught on video. Regards, Amy J
