    FERPA, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, is a Federal law meant to protect the privacy of students personal, educational, and health information. The initial wording of FERPA implies it provides a extremely high level of personal privacy in our education. However, as you dig deeper into the law it becomes glaringly obvious how little protection this law actually provides.

Which gives no boundaries for the schools, and allows the schools to use the web cameras to watch the students at all times. That is overstepping many privacy boundaries such as, watching them at home, what if they are getting dressed? The whole school system could see it through the web camera, or if they were at the mall on their cellphones and the school is allowed to tap their every move.
