Violence is a big issue in the world today. Just turn on your TV and it proves itself. Where you definatley don't want violence is in your own school. If kids were in danger when they went to school would you take them? I certainlly wouldn't. A suggestion of putting up surveillance cameras through the building to prevent violence sounds like a good idea right? That is where you would be very wrong.

Think about it do you really want your kid being watched by someone else that they don't even know? That person watching your kid could know what kind of friends they hang-out with, where their classes are, even where there locker is and maybe even the combonation. The fact is that there are people in this world who would look for that kind of things to use to find out information about your kid. The school can promise that they will not look into thatl but how can the school even be sure that the person is thinking about your kid. Do you want to take that risk"

The school says that they will use cameras for violence, but how can you be sure. They could be using the cameras against students. They could catch two people kissing each other. The school might be thinking that the two people sould be going a little to far. The students could be completely embarassed knowing that they are watching every move. This could have students being afraid to go to school.

Personal space is a big arguement. People would feel very uncomfortable knowing that everday the school is watching you. The school could say it would make kids feel safe, but students feel violate, and extremely uncomfortable.

After knowing all of the things a school might really be doing. It makes you think...Is my child really safe? Maybe the school might be telling the truth, but do you really want to take the chance. The truth is that it does not make you feel any safer knowing that the school could be doing much more than trying to stop violence. It is not the schools' right to be watching into our personal lives. Its Unconstitutional to be watching into people's lives. A suggest of putting up surveillance cameras throughtout a school school to preven violence sounds like a good idea right? That is where you would be very wrong.
