Is A School Syllabus A Legally Binding Document?

Location: Washington State

My Highschool math teacher just told my class she’s allowed to film us(and we’re “required” to be in this film)because we signed the class syllabus. Is a Highschool syllabus an actual legally binding document? Sorry if this is stupid.

EDIT: sorry I can’t answer comments, the post is locked? I don’t really know what that means but I think I broke rules(sorry mods). Here’s a general explanation based on some comments: 1. She is filming this to show a board she’s a ‘good’ teacher. 2. There was no opt out option, it was sign the syllabus or don’t sign it and have a failing grade until you complete other assignments(which takes some time in the start of the year). 3. I am 17 so my mom has to sign these things for them to be accepted. 4. Why do I care? Because personally I don’t think she should continue as a teacher. She’s the worst teacher I’ve ever had. I wasn’t able to switch out of this class because too many other people did and they had no other class open. I’m stuck with her. I could go on but I don’t want to make this post super long.
