You decide—good idea gone awry, or just good idea? Apparently the new accessory on school buses is a video camera, recording your kid's every nose-picking moment.
The idea is to provide an objective record when there's a bus-related dispute. Hey! Did the bus driver haul off and whack my kid for no reason like my kid says, or does my kid have a bone to pick with the driver because he made him keep his head inside the window and embarrassed him in front of everyone? Who's telling the truth? The camera will know!
And the cameras supposedly deter bullying, too. Which would have saved my daughter's birthday cake from having been consumed by the fat piglike girl evidently very hungry girl who extorted it from her last year, thus providing life-long birthday cake-related scars.
And the ACLU is on board with the idea, too, stating that school buses aren't a place where kids would normally expect privacy.
So how come I don't like it?
