TAUNTON In February, the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District instituted a new policy regarding webcams during remote learning. Children are now required to keep their cameras on during remote learning if the teacher so asks.
While some school community members think this change will positively impact students academic performance, others say they believe it could be detrimental to learning for some students.
D-R Superintendent Anthony Azar said one of the main reasons the district made the policy change was to make it easier for teachers to check on students social and emotional well-being. Being able to see them on the screen would tell tales of Are they in a good place? Have they been doing okay from a physicality standpoint, he said.
