Give me one good reason cameras should not be in the classroom.
Hacking for one.
Yes, I understand, but that is not their main activity. And, as I said, when there is a fight there will be 30 cell phones recording it.

Is that so?
Yes.
Who has access to said cameras?
Yes.
So you say.
Are the schools going to hire people to view thousands of hours of classroom activity? If not, the cameras serve no purpose. If they do, that is big brother at its worst. I think the companies that make camera equipment must have a strong lobby.
I do believe there is little or no teaching occurring in many classrooms (remember "free periods"). But this is a poor way to improve instruction and let's administrators off the hook by claiming that is "supervision."

I'd presume that the feed would only be viewed if an issue was reported.
Oddly, you don't seem to feel that way about security cameras or body-cams...do you?
Have I found a union shill?
How are the body-cams the same? 
That's a fair question.
BTW, "Trump believes that the rush to install these systems - many of them extremely expensive and sophisticated - often amounts to little more than a “knee-jerk reaction.” High-tech security equipment allows school administrators to point to "something tangible," says Trump, to demonstrate to parents that they take security seriously.
But he cautions that the bigger picture often hasn't been factored into these decisions.
"How much thought has been put it into whether all this equipment meshes with the school climate, culture, and community relations aspects of how schools operate?" Trump asks.

You tell me. I would prefer they be open but I can see some need for restrictions such as, a parent has to view them at the school.
A camera can serve many purposes. Protecting the teacher from unruly students or on the flip side, making sure a teacher is not pushing their own personal agenda on the students.
Yup. They're not allowed to discipline or even flunk less than marginal students. Unless of course it's a private or parochial school.
It's almost as if they have something to hide, isn't it?
Public school = child abuse, IMO.
