I have to also include this great article from Andy Carvin -reaching all the way back to 2006!- that echoes concerns in the last link (yes, this is an issue that has a history).This link takes us back to Massachusetts, highlighting a conversation about the ambiguity of the law.However, it is relevant to the discussion as it illustrates the battle to define classrooms as "Public" or "Private" settings: "Is it Legal to Secretly Record a Teacher in Class?"
