Lots of kids at school don’t think Manic Time is fair. Is it? Maybe, but if you’re failing in all your classes, teachers kind of need to know what you’re up to. What if you’re not doing your homework and playing games and watching movies? That’s what Manic Time is for, to track down what your every move is.

This is when the unfair part pitches in. A class was having a discussion about Manic Time, and the teacher said, “Manic Time is not used as a tool to punish people.” but the students clearly still didn’t feel comfortable with Manic Time. Agreeing fully with the teacher, they still had their arguments, “It makes me feel like there is an overhead camera above me each time I open my tablet!” a student said. Another student made their point, “It’s like you have no privacy at all. Like you’re going to the bathroom but there are no stalls!”

Clearly, students do not find this fair at all. But what are the good causes. This is one situation where it seems like the only good cause is for the teacher, to find out what you’ve been doing and to discover what the kid has been doing. But, this might also be a good cause to learn from your mistakes.  Manic time will quickly collect the data of what you have just done. Although the question ‘Is Manic Time a good and fair tool, or a bad and unfair tool?’ is still on our minds, it’s still too hard to answer.
