A few years ago when teaching a junior high school class, I overheard a student exclaim "If Mr. Soandso gives me an F on that assignment, I'm gonna mess him up!"
I turned around and said to the student "I'm pretty sure Mr. Soandso could take you."
The student, all smirks, replied "He can't touch me. There are cameras."
I walked to the student, leaned over, and whispered "What makes you think the teachers don't know where the blind spots are?"
The smirk disappeared.
"Something to think about," I said, and continued class.
Our students know a lot about technology; sometimes it's a good idea to let them know we do too.
