So you think they will not use this to try to identify the vaping student?
So you think we should all be allowed to smoke in non-smoking places? The school already has all info on all it's kids, what else "private" is being revealed here? If you break the rules of the establishment where you are, they'll try to identify and ban you, because that's how private property and bylaws work. School is no different. If you break the rules you face the consequences.
Is this logical and useful? No. Does it help kids become better and learn? No. Will it actually reduce vaping? No, it's a leaderboard now.
But is it invading privacy? Also no. It is enforcing nonsensical draconic rules, but not revealing any information that wouldn't be already known or demanded by the institution in that situation.
No, but I see you need to make up a point I didn't make so you could attack that.
Lazy strawman, you must be from reddit
Oh the irony. Lol.
