The teacher takes pictures of sleeping students without their permission, or them even knowing he is taking the pictures. He claims he is keeping them to show to parents at parent-teacher conferences, but there are no parent-teacher conferences in my high school.

It is not illeagel to photograph anyone with or without their permission. The only was this person could be in trouble is if your local Board of Education or maybe the state BOE has policies restriction the use of photo or video equipment on school property or activities without prior aproval of school officials

The problem is not taking the picture - the problem is intent. Anyone can take a picture - but school districts have the right to restrict cameras at school events. Obviously, taking photos for the yearbook, or pictures at a football game are examples of perfectly acceptable picture taking. However, taking a picture in the girl's locker room would be a violation of local laws. Bringing an unauthorized camera ontol school grounds without permission of the principal or headmaster might be a form of trespassing. And... yes, using a picture to defame a teacher may very well be in violation of school policies and result in discipline of the offending student. A lawsuit will usually occur when a picture is published, especially in a professional manner - such as in a magazine. Most junior high and high school campuses in my state have a release on the 2nd page of the emergency contact cards. If the parents do not give authorization, a student's picture cannot be used by the campus. In such a case, not only could someone be in violation of campus policy, but face a civil lawsuit for breach of privacy as well. Hopefully, you will warn your fellow student of his folly. If you don't like him, just make sure the internet link is anonymously mailed to the principal or headmaster's email account, along with a little plainly written letter explaining who posted the photo on the internet.

Do you mean students sleeping in class? Maybe the teacher is going to start calling parents in for conferences and show them their kids.
I think it is a great idea.

I live in Pa also and when my child was in school,I had to sign a paper at the beginning of the year that they had my permission to take my son's picture.Many of his teachers took pictures in class while he was in school.Maybe it was just my school district that had the permission slips,that I don't know.I don't see anything wrong with it as long as they weren't obscene. Personally,if a teacher showed me a picture of my son sleeping in class I would want a copy of it and use it later to blackmail him with,especially when he had his own kids...lol

That's pretty wierd, but as long as they aren't sexual in nature I don't know if it would fall under any law. you can always tell the administration if it makes you uncomfortable.

no it's not okay and if it doesn't violate any local/state laws, it almost definitely violates school policy. the dude's a pedophile; report him.
