In a random survey about recording in school, more than half of the students don’t record at Morton East High School.
According to Google AI, 49.6 million students record for social media in school and 50% for academics. In our survey, we got the result of 57% of students not recording in school. Students are allowed to record if they’re by themselves, but if it is with someone else, they will have to tell them if they are allowed to record them.
“I think they’re so used to social media that they do it so often,” said Edwin Bagley, staff member.
This is one of the many reasons why students record in school; some do think that it’s for the right reason.
“They want a memory of their school life,” said Heidy Arredola, junior.
But even the adults outside of school can see it as a problem, like recording fights. Students can get suspended if they are caught recording and circulating video of a fight at school.
“I think students usually record to put it on social media. Most of the time they make fun of the situation,” said Elizabeth Juarez, community member.
Of course, many students are recording friends or even making Tik Toks.
“I know a couple of students who record in the halls before school,” said Adam Carrasquedo, senior.
It’s especially seen by staff members monitoring the halls.
“They record just about anywhere in the halls during school, which is bad, and after school,” said Sauannah Hunter, staff member.
But what students should really know about is why it’s bad in the first place.
“I think it’s a violation of the privacy law. Students record in classrooms when they’re not supposed to,” said Jennifer Gomez, staff member.
