When I returned to school after the Christmas break, I found this in my room…

Not sure what you’re looking at?
Take a look at this…

Yep.
Cameras.
“Security” cameras.
They are in every classroom and the lunchroom. There is a big screen in one of the front offices where administrators can watch what’s going on in the rooms.
I will admit that I have very mixed feelings about this.
Visitors are always welcome in my classroom. In fact, I expect it as being evaluated is crucial to helping me become a better teacher.
However, I don’t really like the idea of my every action being monitored at will. I’m also concerned that it might put a damper on my carefree enthusiasm.
I am determined to just act myself.
Who knows…maybe this is God’s way of getting me used to cameras so when I go on Survivor, I won’t be bothered by them.
heehee
So, weigh in with your thoughts. How would you feel?
