Why it’s different
Schools often restrict recording to protect students and maintain safety.
Even if you’re in a public facility, you may be in a controlled-access or policy-limited area.
Safer approach
Ask the school/organizer for written permission for any planned filming.
If you must record, keep it to your own child/group and avoid capturing other students.
