Dear Forum Members

I have just come across this surprising story of the possible use of school laptops being used, by the school's authorities, to spy on students and their families.

Here's the article: BBC News - US school accused of web spying

The school involved are now saying that the installed spying equipment was only supposed to be used if and when the laptop got stolen but it was actually used to keep an eye on the students while they were in their homes.

The thing that is upper most in my mind at the moment is what right did the school authorities think they had that enabled them to spy on their student's families?
