Eyes Always on Us
Video cameras are everywhere: schools, theatres and stores. But in recent years, they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's study and daily life. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it? Let's look at two students' ideas below.

| Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. As a result, I didn't do well in schoolwork. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me.
It worked. With the camera watching, I have to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. My grades have improved a lot since then.
Also, when I am alone at home, the camera makes me feel safe because I know that my parents are watching on the other side. | When 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 felt 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 and I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now. |
