A school board in Philly provides laptops and a webcam for students there.  Surreptitiously, they installed software that could be activated by the school board at any time of their choosing.  Essentially, they are monitoring the children anywhere the children are and at any time of the day.  Even in the kids bedrooms at night.

They will be watching everything soon enough......if not already :P
