Reminds me of a Pennsylvania school "WebcamGate" in 2010.

The school's IT dept had a program to control the student's laptop camera so if it was lost or stolen they could take a picture and see where it was and with who.
It didn't end well.

We all knew at some point it would be used inappropriately and we'd all be responsible in some way. I think schools and their departments are right to move away from these types of tools. They're teenage kids, not some domestic terrorist with an enormous network.
