Why webcams are busy?

Why do you think the school issued out laptops with webcams to their students?

• Last night I saw the story about the school in Philadelphia issuing out laptops with webcams to their students. And then they activated these webcams to take snapshots of them every 15 minutes while they were at home. Supposedly there were thousands of these pictures taken and some of them captured atleast one student undressed. The school claims that these webcams were activated to track the laptop. However, I've rented laptops from rental stores and I know for a fact that it isn't neccessary to track a laptop with a webcam. Also, why would they need to issue laptops with webcams at all since a webcam doesn't have any educational purpose ? Also, do you think that the school was taking these pictures for the right reason or was it something more sinister ?

• Answer:

  There's not a doubt in my mind that they intended on using these laptops to spy on these children. If an average citizen did the same thing they would be thrown in jail.
