NCB Now: Our shout! - Should CCTV be allowed in schools?

"There are some good and bad points. The bad is your privacy is being invaded, and good is that you know you're safe at school." - Emily, 15, North London

- "I was a bit shocked to find I was being filmed in sixth form college, but if someone is being bullied, the evidence could be caught on camera." - Graham, 17, Liverpool

- "I feel safer, because if anything bad happens in school the people involved can be identified." - Gifty, 15, London

- "No, It's an infringement of our rights to be filmed inside school, however, filming outside school may stop vandalism." - Hannah, 16, North Somerset

- "I don't agree with the CCTV in my school. I feel trapped, as though I'm always being watched." - Darren, 16, London

- "It's an invasion of privacy especially when they're placed in private places". - Serisse, 15, London
