As S.Kamakshi and her friends play kho kho on the playground of the Chennai Higher Secondary School in Thiruvanmiyur, a distant eye is systematically watching them. The CCTV camera(监控摄像机) here has been installed(安装) as part of an experimental project. According to A.P.Subramanian, assistant headmaster, the public school has four cameras. The cameras have been in place for close to 45 days. Headmistress K.B.Gomathi says that since only two night watchmen guard their large campus, the modern technology helps greatly in terms of security. Four more cameras,she says,will be installed. Its role in keeping discipline(纪律) is only an added advantage. When asked about how they felt about the cameras,students listed things they could no longer do—they would not be able to drop litter on the playground,they would no longer be able to get into fights. Beyond all that though,N.Shalini and her friends say that if someone fell down and injured his leg while playing on the field,they would be conscious of the fact that their teachers would come to his aid immediately. Jeyapriya R.,a teacher at the school,however,raises a fundamental question. For how long can students be disciplined by a camera? Discipline,she says,has to come from the inside of an individual's mind.“But when students have a quarrel,and parents come asking,we have the evidence to show them,”she adds. Unlike public schools,private schools in the city have been using CCTV cameras for a few years now. A jeeth Prasath Jain,headteacher of Bhavan's Rajaji Vidyashram, says that his school's 80 cameras were installed five years ago and have been helpful in keeping a watch on the children.“We abstain_from installing cameras in classrooms because we do not want to rob the student and the teacher of their freedom. They have been installed only in the movement areas and the labs,”he says. Educationist S.S.Rajagopalan, however, says, “This system is based on the mistaken assumption that children will behave only when watched,” he says. Children,he adds,are very likely to misbehave in a controlled atmosphere,and must be given the freedom to be children. 28.The Chennai Higher Secondary School will install more CCTV cameras mainly to ________.
