英国一中学安装112个监控 酷似监狱

　　Stoke Park School in Coventry, UK, spent ￡10,000 (＄16,058) installing the CCTV, which gives it an average of one camera to every ten students.

　　英国考文垂市斯托克公园中学竟然花费一万英镑（约合1.6万美元）安装了112个监控相机，平均每10名学生就被一部相机监控。

　　They say the cameras - 33 outside and 79 inside the buildings - are to combat a spate of break-ins and thefts.

　　But some parents and civil rights groups believe the move is "totally over the top" and are demanding the devices are taken down.

　　学校称，学校建筑外边安装有33部相机监控，内部则安装了70部，安装这些相机监控的目的是为了预防陌生人闯入和盗窃行为。

　　但是一些家长和民权组织则认为，此举太过夸张，要求学校拆除这些监控系统。

　　Father-of-two Dan Austin, 40, said: "It's ridiculous to have so many cameras and totally unnecessary. All parents want their children to be safe at school but this is over the top. It's like sending your kids to a high-security prison. I don't like the idea that children are being monitored so closely - it instills a dangerous lesson that no one is trustworthy."

　　今年四十岁的丹 奥斯丁是两个孩子的父亲，他说：“学校安装这么多相机监控十分荒谬可笑，而且根本没有必要。虽然所有父母都希望孩子的学校足够安全，但这种做法太过了，感觉好像是将孩子送到了一所戒备森严的高级监狱。我不喜欢孩子被这样严密监控，这会给孩子一种危险的错觉：没人值得信任。”

　　Daniel Hamilton, of civil rights campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: "Any right-thinking person would conclude that Stoke Park's snooping is completely over the top. Wouldn't the school be better off spending the money on educating its pupils, rather than spying on them?"

　　民权组织 "Big Brother Watch" 的丹尼尔 汉密尔顿表示：“任何有理智的人都会认为这种监视行为言过其实。难道学校不该把钱花在如何教育好孩子身上，而不是用来监视他们吗？”
