I always have chemistry online on Fridays and she always says we should turn on the cameras. When it all started with online classes this semester and we had chemistry online for the first time, she said: "[…] and if you don't have a camera, then you just buy one. […]" Is she allowed to do that? I mean, my laptop has a camera that works. But if someone has a PC or laptop that the camera doesn't work on or doesn't even have one, that sucks. Because the camera is not needed in any other subject, only in chemistry. And to put on a camera just for chemistry, and that only for half a year, is a cheek. I mean, such a camera on Amazon won't be expensive, maybe 20-30 euro, but it's unnecessary.
I need your help, please!
I'm in online lessons myself & no, you don't have to show yourself.
Above all, there are always weirdos in a class who take screenshots and use them to make memes or something else.
I rarely show myself because I don't feel like it myself & my teachers accept that too.
You can't force anyone. But if you refuse, for example, you could run into problems with the school. If you don't want to turn the camera on, tape it off and say it's broken.
Hay,
no, of course you don't have to. You are free to decide whether you want to show yourself or not.
Besides, you definitely didn't feel like being filmed, photographed, etc. By the others. Otherwise you will end up on the Internet xD.
Hope could help.
A webcam costs around 80 euro
If the teacher pays for it, that fits… But the behavior of the teachers is really not okay, give them your opinion
Thank you, but what kind of problems are there supposed to be? Because if they force me, it encroaches on my privacy and I could justify that, right?
