Eyes always on us
Video cameras are everywhere: schools, theaters and stores. But in recent years, they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children’s online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?
| Li Ming Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. Zhang HuaWhen I was in Grade 8, my parents set up a camera in my room. I really didn’t like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn’t have pillow fights. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well... I feel happy and free now. |
