That is how many pictures the Lower Merion School District snapped of students (A couple of weeks ago, they were only claiming ‘400 or so’)… That is the trouble with our educational system, the people running it have math skills so lacking they thing that 56000 = 400.
There is a Fox News article about this.
A Philly.com article seems to show that the administration was aware of the situation and referred to it as “A Lower Merion School District Soap Opera”. It’s nice to know that when people send their kids to a government run school, they are respected as well as their privacy.
From the Philly.com article
Back at district offices, the Robbins motion says, employees with access to the images marveled at the tracking software. It was like a window into “a little LMSD soap opera,” a staffer is quoted as saying in an e-mail to Carol Cafiero, the administrator running the program.
“I know, I love it,” she is quoted as having replied.
Well, THAT should be a little disturbing. I would suggest that parents throughout the country check with their local school districts to determine exactly what policies are in place regarding privacy.
