to record their sacred moments of their child doing something wonderful.
How about finding a faculty member to act as the "bad cop" to tell the
parent not to record their precious moments of the child in which their
child spent hours preparing to do.
If you don't police the camera at school, how does a school tell parents
what not to do with the videos at home? If a crime was performed during the
event and the video is evidence, then there could be legal reasons why to
take down the video.
