Rachel Anderson’s fourth-grade daughter was so anxious about being on camera during remote learning that she cried every day for the first six weeks of school.
Districts were hesitant to make cameras a requirement in the fall, out of respect for family privacy. Besides increasing anxiety for some kids, the live look into students’ living quarters—not only by teachers, but also by fellow students—might pose equity issues. While some families have opposed camera requirements, many others say it has brought relief from the daily battle to get their kids to engage with their teachers and classmates. In Charlotte’s case, there is no requirement.
As of October, more than 75% of schools and districts that provide live remote instruction required students to turn on their cameras, according to a. That number is even higher now, as many more districts around the country, including my family’s in Southern California, have implemented cameras-on policies in recent weeks.
While teachers said it is difficult to teach to a blank screen, Mr. Howland said the decision was driven by parents. They were having trouble holding their kids accountable all day long. “We were getting emails from parents saying, ‘Please make them turn their cameras on.’ ”
Yes, but we do so little to stop heating the planet with CO2. Germany reduced their CO2, but The US raised our CO2. We are going to burn up soon from all the various chemicals stirring in our atmosphere, ocean and in ground. We must make drastic changes in ourselves to save life
My 7 year-old has had some anxiety since the pandemic began. Now, imagine being told to leave your camera on while you’re having a panic attack Infront of your classmates—It’s heartbreaking to see my child go through this.
How about we all just go in-person like Texas
Lucifer and god fuck each other Lucifer is a Judy fiddler who enjoys to emotionally reap them first the play that’s were work hard play hard comes from. Lucifer loves children
Remote proctored tests as well.
Uh, no! If you can’t keep your kid accountable in your own home WTF do you expect the teacher to do? Have cameras on for some things, sure. But not the whole time. Anyone heard of the panopticon
The girl cried every day for 6 weeks? Thats terrible! My daughter doesn't want her camera on. From one introvert to another, I totally understand that. Even if they make it a requirement here, still not happening. I monitor her progress.
WOW what a novel concept—-actually making the kids participate in the classroom.
shocker
Oh please.
