It’s ominous and vaguely unsettling, like a bit of surveillance video that reveals a crime.
One minute several adults are chatting amiably in a school classroom; the next they’re all frozen in place. Did the camera malfunction? Did time briefly stop? Or did somebody cross the line and tamper with the recording?
