I feel like that is the bigger problem. These aren't private/personal devices; students shouldn't be treating them as personal devices. Especially knowing it's a monitored device.
Properly educating students on the use of these devices is the solution. Not telling schools to turn a blind eye to the use of their own equipment.
I mean yeah, I don't watch porn on an office computer at work after all. They should have their own devices for all that stuff. School devices = school-related activity only, no more.
Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?
When doing zoom calls for work I do it behind a curtain. Nobody sees my home at all. Then I cover the cam when not in use. These are just common sense privacy measures we should be teaching them anyway.
