So you think they will not use this to try to identify the vaping student?
.... good?
Everyone (even kids) have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but children using drugs in school isn't something that falls under that reasonable expectation of privacy.
Considering they are only harming themselves, no I do not care much
As others mentioned, I think schools should dedicate resources to address this situation through education, instead of paying some start up for some surveillance gadgets
Again, we're talking about actual children. You know: people that have yet to mentally develop to the point where they can make fully informed decisions on everything and sometimes have to be "coerced" by reasonable adults into doing so.
So you didn't read my second paragraph?
I didn't disagree with that part. Doing what you suggested and using the "vape detectors" aren't mutually exclusive.
Well, kind of since I suggested NOT using vape detectors
