This happened in Philadelphia and was reported by the Associated Press on February 19, 2010.
Lower Merion School District officials actived the student's webcam when the school laptops were in the privacy of the student's home and used them to recorded private moments. This is a scenario from George Orwell's 1984. Orwell wrote 1984 to warn us about the possibility of this happening.
If you are a teacher or administrator. Do not do this. If you are a parent. Do not allow a school computer into your home that has a webcam. If you think the laptop is being used to monitor your home: get a lawyer.
You can get the details with a Google search.
