Surveillance cameras in the school (For and against Essay) Have surveillance cameras in the school improved the behaviour of their children or have we to be worried of having it? According to a newspaper article teachers are worried about having surveillance cameras because it can affect the privacy and can also distract to education. In the first place, it will be more security in the school in order to guard the children every moment. Moreover, it will help in cases, such as fights, arguments or bullying. For instance, in these cases, the school could have some proofs to avoid that it continues happening. Nevertheless, there are most serious drawbacks of having cameras, for instance it causes an invasion of privacy. We must be sure that all the images are deleted so as not to use them in negative ways. Not only could it affect the relationships of the students but it also can be a distraction for education. Another negative aspect could be to maintain the cost of it, because it is very expensive and in some cases it couldn't be effective. Despite having surveillance cameras in the school, there is no evidence that it has improved the behaviour of the students. Taking everything into account, I therefore conclude that is better to invest in education than in surveillance cameras.
