Espionage: High School Edition

Wouldn't it be totally amazing if your school gave everyone laptops?

"Duh," you're thinking.

Now, wouldn't it be totally amazing if the school planted cameras in those laptops and activated them remotely so the school admins could spy on you when you used the laptop outside of school?

"HOLY GLOCKENSPIEL!"

Yeah. Redonkulous. Yet true.

Parents of students in a Philadelphia suburb are suing their school district for pulling this creepy Big Brother stunt.

What were the school administrators thinking? We have no idea, but thought it would be fun to guess:

Homework Habits
They thought they'd see...you letting out an evil laugh—MWHAHAHAHA—after copying and pasting directly from Wikipedia into your history paper. After all, all teenagers use the internet to cheat.

They actually saw...you being the ninja master of multi-tasking, your eyes bouncing from multiple IM conversations to Lexis Nexis, which is helping you put together a well-researched and eloquent paper on the Industrial Revolution (thank you very much).

Social Behavior
They thought they'd see...you running an elaborate drug cartel out of your bedroom.

They actually saw...your bedroom door always open because your parents are paranoid and think that if it's closed, you'll surely run an elaborate drug cartel out of your bedroom.

Random Internet Surfing
They thought they'd see...you drooling while your mind turns to mush, overwhelmed by the internet's speed and sprawl.

They actually saw...you reading all the comments from the latest SparkLife open thread aloud. In different voices. Like characters in a goofy puppet show. You do a puppet show enacting the conversations on the SparkLife open threads? Awesome!

What do you think? Was the school out of line with the remote-control cameras? And, more importantly, do you perform a SparkLife puppet show?
