you thoughts on putting video camers in high schools?
454142
well I think a lot of it depends on who sees the whats on camera, and where exactly they point. if you think about it lunch room, classrooms, and hallways are really public and fairly high traffic areas. even if there where no camera's around I think most people would figure out that you don't do stuff there you don't want everyone else seeing as there is a fairly good chance of them walking through or by that spot.  it would be another matter if they where in bathrooms or locker rooms or places that are supposed to be more private. but for places where there is usually a crowd of people I don't see how a camera added to the mix is going to reveal anything that wouldn't normally be found out if they had the staff out wondering the building more.

I think that students remember things more if the subject creates an emotional connection either with a visual picture, experience, or auditory sounds.\n\nI have recently started trying to make little music videos and mini movies to teach concepts to my students. It's amazing how it has increased their knowledge base, vocabulary, and motivation level.

I can't think of a single reason they shouldn't be allowed. It's a public place, and cameras are freely allowed in public places. Further, there is a reasonable expectation that the school would be able to prevent crimes lke vandalism, etc.

It is fine to install video cameras anywhere on YOU OWN property,  ESPECIALLY if you warn people about it.\nIf you don't like it, take your business elsewhere.\nNow if you go to a PUBLIC college then there might be an invasion of privacy issue.

High School was ok. Me and my friend were crazy, we'd be walkin down the sidewalk thing and they had 55 gallon drum trash cans and I would act like I wasn't payin attention and run into 'em, it would make a loud noise and everybody would look!! It was great. One time my friend and I paid a kid we knew to go into the courtyard, where a bunch of people were doin backflips and stuff, and do a cartwheel. And he did it!! We gave him $1! There's lots more but thats enough for now.

That would be appropriate for high school, but ask someone to make sure.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  They are there to teach you, not show you the ropes on the birds and bees.  If you're in highschool, you don't know what you want, and if you're male, you're thinking with the wrong head.  While now it might seem like a bragging right, later on it will seem like the biggest screw up in your life.

If you mean high school the teacher and the student should talk. One at a time of course but it makes the student more interested in the class if they can take part in whats going on in the class. But everyone is different some hate school and others love it. don't forse though if your the teacher just be like "I want to know how you feel about this." or "Don't be afrade to share your oppion your all intitaled to your oppion."

Hard question if your time is limited...\n\nThe Economics of Staying in School.... Human Resources and Development Canada. The presentation and video is geared towards older kids, but is well done and applicable in any middle years classroom.\n\nIdea... you can use any type of video... even a cartoon, and have the students count a particular word or action. Have different groups of students look for different words/actions. Then use these to work their knowledge of algorithms. (I realize that this is not what you are asking for, but a sub should be able to handle it).\n\nCheck with your librarian... there are lists and lists of good videos that you can access for free. Manitoba Education has loads of them. Career education areas tend to spotlight careers using math, science, and technology.\n\nIf you use problem solving as a focus in your class, maybe a movie on chess... Bobby Fischer, etc.\n\nOh... Bill Nye is always a good choice...

I knew one girl at my high school who did enough summer school to graduate a year early. Then, she went off to college.\n\nPersonally, I think kids should graduate high school at 16 and then choose trade school or college (similar to the British system). I think more kids would graduate if they weren't required to go until they were 18.\n\nI think home school is a viable alternative.

In high schools? I don't know if it's a good idea, but you can certainly argue that it increases self-confidence, builds healthier body, trains better hand and eye coordination, etc.

high school kicks ass...im a sophomore, and you're gonna love it. the seniors might bash on the freshman class, and so will the juniors, and the sophomores, too, but it gets better with time. take as many ACC/HN/AP classes as you can. it sucks doing it but it pays off later. \n\noh, and the popularity contest doesn't matter. just yell "screw you" at anyone that pushes you around, except seniors...they'll kill you!!!

I have NEVER heard of this practice.\n\nMiddle and High school plays are for the STUDENTS.  Why a teacher would take the place of a student is beyond me.

I think there should.\nBeing in highschool myself, I know what my peers are capable of doing.\nLots of kids bring in guns and knives.\nI think it would be a good way to keep the youth from being corrupted.
