Safety for Students and Teachers!

I'm aware that our schools have intense security cameras watching every move students make on our local school campuses. HOORAY! I'm all for that! I'm sure it has before and will again help in aiding criminal behavior on campus. But I have a proposal. With all the news of our children being bullied, mistreated, mishandled, and worse, sexually abused--isn't it time we also move cameras INSIDE the classrooms?!  Consider the recent sexual abuse cases. Read the numerous parental accusations of various mistreatment made against teachers. Read about the bullying inside classrooms. It seems cameras would be beneficial for capturing criminal behavior as well as prove the innocence of false accusations. Think how helpful cameras would've been at Sandy Hook, Columbine, MiraMesa Elementary, and more!  As parents, neighbors, residents, grandparents, teachers, etc, we need to DEMAND this solution for our kids' safety, and for our teachers' safety.
