Web-Cam Lawsuit

I think that parents have every right to sue the Merion PA School District for violating their privacy by activating web cameras that are on laptop computers. The laptops were given to students for their own use. The school district failed to inform parents about the anti-theft measures that they would use if the laptop was reported stolen. Parents paid $100 plus an additional insurance fee for their students to have access to the laptop. If parents paid insurance then why was theft even an issue? I might feel differently about the issue if the school had notified parents of the anti-theft tracking system before parents agreed to let their children have one. Many students reported that most of the time the laptop was left on all the time in their bedroom. If the camera is activated for any reason the school is violating a persons right to privacy. The school reported that out of 2300 laptops only 42 were reported stolen. Of those 42, 18 were recovered. If you ask me 42 out of 2300 is pretty darn good numbers. I realize that in the instance that a computer was stolen that a picture taken with the web-cam is worth a thousand words, but it comes at a high cost for the school. There are other ways of tracking a lost or stolen computer that do not involve spying into people's lives.
