The Mind Boggles: School Edition

So the Lower Merion School District, outside of Philadelphia, issued laptops to their students. The laptops came, as most do, with webcams and microphones.

So what did the school district do? They (allegedly) used the webcams to spy on the students in their homes. We are at the point, I fear, where the title "school administrator" is becoming synonymous with "imbecile."

Feel safer yet? And if anyone has issued you a laptop, buy some electrical tape and cover up the bloody web cam. And the microphone.
