CCTV cameras in school lavatories

There has been a row this week over the decision of a train in Norwich to install CCTV cameras to monitor the sink area in the lavatories.The Times reported that:Shami Chakrabarti, the director of the person rights organisation Liberty, supposed that the measure would serve only to prepare brood for a lifetime of intrusive surveillance.I reported alike concerns in 2007 over a train that was taking children's fingerprints. The headmaster defended the practice on the basis that it was "preparing pupils for a world in which violence was rife, and their privacy would be further invaded".The defence obtainable by the head in Norwich is equally striking. Len Holman, the head of Angel Road Junior School, supposed that pupils had requested the cameras.At one time the fact that an idea had been place forward by brood would have been a reason for adults to think again it. Now it is taken as a knock-down argument in its favour. Odd.
