Phones, cameras, watches with cameras, GoPros are all all ready allowed, why would this be any different? Some schools even have equipment to rent to make videos, or their news program has some, yearbook group, etc.
Using a camera as part of a group project is very different from secretly filming people throughout the school day when they’re supposed to be doing other things.
A school is a public place, there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy.
I am fucking sick and tired of this absolute garbage argument.
“No expectation of privacy” does not mean publicizing any video for any purpose is OK. It does not mean stalking is OK. It does not mean a goddamned panopticon is OK!
What’s happening now – with every act potentially stored in perpetuity, psycho-analyzed, and fed into generative AI for the purpose of deepfaking or who knows what else – is in a wholly different category that goes beyond “public!”
I don’t recall a student being able to bring a security camera to school. In fact, every single security camera I’ve seen in a school has (seemingly) belonged to the school, not to any individual.

Surely you can tell the difference…
Well in that case the solution is simply to have the school provide such utensils, for use only in the time period when the project takes place.
They often do. Wtf is your point? This is about allowing pervglasses in the classroom.
Those are far more obvious when one is filming compared to glasses that can secretly film someone at any time.
Unlike the security cameras that already do you mean… yeah?
