'Students may also be prompted to do a “room scan” where they turn their computer camera 360 degrees to show that nobody else is in the room with them' why are we treating teenagers like this? the only thing they are learning is that nobody involved here respects or trusts them.

we need to hold accountable the people who purchased such systems and make sure they're removed from future decision making since they can't be trusted

This is happening to adults as well. Couldn't locate my old GED (took it in 1988!), so I had to take the HiSET, and had to do the same deal - room scan, show both ears, take my glasses off and demonstrate that they were not computerized (!?). It was BIZARRE.
