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.

英國考文垂市斯托克公園中學竟然花費一萬英鎊（約合1.6萬美元）安裝了112個監控相機，平均每10名學生就被一部相機監控。

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.

學校稱，學校建築外邊安裝有33部相機監控，內部則安裝了70部，安裝這些相機監控的目的是爲了預防陌生人闖入和盜竊行爲。

但是一些家長和民權組織則認爲，此舉太過誇張，要求學校拆除這些監控系統。

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."

今年四十歲的丹奧斯丁是兩個孩子的父親，他說：“學校安裝這麼多相機監控十分荒謬可笑，而且根本沒有必要。雖然所有父母都希望孩子的學校足夠安全，但這種做法太過了，感覺好像是將孩子送到了一所戒備森嚴的高級監獄。我不喜歡孩子被這樣嚴密監控，這會給孩子一種危險的錯覺：沒人值得信任。”

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?"

民權組織 "Big Brother Watch" 的丹尼爾漢密爾頓表示：“任何有理智的人都會認爲這種監視行爲言過其實。難道學校不該把錢花在如何教育好孩子身上，而不是用來監視他們嗎？”However, acting head teacher Marie Harrison defended the security measures, saying the cameras were needed to keep pupils safe.

然而，代理校長瑪麗哈里遜卻爲之辯護，稱此舉能夠確保學生的安全。

"The school has installed CCTV cameras in key areas including -corridors and the perimeter of the site. There are no cameras in -toilets or changing areas," she said, "this has been one of a number of measures taken by the school in ensuring children's safety and minimizing damage in and around the site.

她說：“學校在走廊以及周邊關鍵區域安裝了監控相機，但是衛生間以及換衣間等地方沒有相機。這是學校採取保護學生的措施之一，儘量減小他們受到傷害的可能性。”
