The article is interesting, imo, because of how far reaching the consequences can be. What if you made copies and this teacher latter found out, could you be sued? What about audio notes? I know a lot of people use recorders for class. Some even use video recorders. What if you take your notes on digital media, how do you go about turning those over? What if you outright refuse, does she have a right to recover the notes by force?

Personally I think that, unless you sign a contract with the school covering what you can and can't do with the notes, etc. there is a long standing precedence for students keeping their own notes that would stand up in court.

"Police Capt. George Seranko was quoted as saying that the first photograph was "a self portrait taken of a juvenile female taking pictures of her body, nude."

Under the current laws, couldn't Capt. George Seranko be charged with viewing child pornography? Charge everyone, him, the teacher that discovered it, et al with viewing and disseminating (when the passed it to the next level of enforcement) child pornography. Even if they don't win, they could tie up the legal system for enough years and make enough stink of it that hopefully someone will listen and change the laws.

Personally, I think the girls were stupid for letting pictures of themselves go around on phones, but this is certainly no reason to ruin the rest of their lives by slapping them with "sex offender" charges.
Stupid...

Sorry if this is already posted, I didn't see it though...

As others said, keep your job, you need it in this economy. However, if you really do have some skills, go make some money on the side with them. You can get jobs that range from helping some kid setup his first perl IRC bot on a server for a few bucks to helping develop specific programs for a large business. You get to pick and choose, be your own boss kinda thing. It's like EBAY for a nerd, it's not a full time job, but it'll earn you money and experience.
