I believe that without further information, these tweets were
unwarranted. However we can observe that she was tweeting in response to someone.
It may have been a joke aimed at the person who she was responding to or in
fact an actual attack on the teacher. However from the information given it
seems that this was insult toward the teacher and these comments were inappropriate
and it was correct to punish the students.
- I believe that the school should’ve
never acted on this information. I believe that students outside of school
should not be monitored. This is a large breach of privacy. Students do
not care about how their teachers act outside of school so should the
students. My gr.8 teacher was a smoker. We knew but we didn’t care. What
we saw was a great teacher and someone who cared deeply for us. Similarly
it seemed like the student was a good student but didn’t like the teacher.
The easy solution would be to remove the student from the class which did
happen. The school should not have acted in any other way as it would be
seen as a breach of privacy.
- This is the point of twitter. A micro
blog to talk about our feelings freely, unopposed by anyone else. The
interne recently has been coming under attack by bills to try and breach
our privacy. It is a mistake if teachers do end up breaching our privacy as
well because it would only drive us to become more private. And then
people would demand free access to this privacy and we would lose it. The
voicing of one’s opinion should be allowed on this site but I believe that
the conversations be cordial. I believe the school did act correctly by
claiming it was cyber bullying but many would not realize this until after
their mistake. After tis incident I believe people will be watcing over
their shoulders for Big Brother.
