he got permission from the teacher and the kids' parents before the original filming session moondog Send a noteboard - 25/02/2011 03:20:30 PM
...but what about the school that allowed him to do this?

I have no kids, so I don't know how schools work these days. But did the school have the right to permit someone to video the kids without parental consent, regardless of what they thought the end result would be?

I realize this is a small town, probably with more relaxed regulations than a school in a big city...but still...

I was just curious if the school faced any possible issues for permitting it...


he even had permission to film in the same classroom to record the song he's in trouble for. where it went wrong was that he used the original filming session (with the kids) to edit them into the second session (with the "naughty song";). the parents, even if they gave their permission for their kids to be used in any work done by this guy, probably didn't expect that they would be used in quite such a way and this is why they're angry.
