Family describes how surveillance cameras were used in son's classroom

I noticed there was cameras when my first day, when I saw them and asked questions but nobody would return the answer. They used it to look at us, to see what we were doing wrong, to see what we could improve on in front of the whole class. It made me want to be the favorite so then nobody would make me watch myself and I wouldn't get in so much trouble. It made me just want to stay home and not go since I knew it would just be weird. I think when we learned the true effects of what they were doing with the cameras and how it affected Lincoln, it broke my heart because we put him in that situation. We picked a school for him and I felt really bad that he had to be put through that situation because if that happened to me, I would feel horrible. to have the worst moments being picked out and critiqued and how you can be better in the situations. It's not a good situation to be in for a 10-year-old, an 8-year-old, any type of kid in that situation. We thought we had a connection. We thought we had a community at the school until we started asking questions. Once we started asking questions, we realized that we weren't going to get some answers to some basic questions that we needed to understand why they were doing this to our family. I wanted to get it out so people wouldn't have to go through the same thing. I want people, if they're thinking about choosing a school to go to, an Acton school, that all this information is presented to them so they have a choice. we were never given a choice to understand the full effect of what these cameras were used for.
