Tweety Birds locked up



I think that Khadijah's comments about her teacher were not commented as an insult. But because of the context behind this comment is what makes is inappropriate. In general we shouldn't judge a person, there might be a big back story for all the things that happened to the teacher and why they are like this. There is always a good reason for someones actions. Her comment can be put under bullying. It had affected the teacher in a bad way.

I think the suspension of these students were reasonable and they deserved this punishment because they were bullying a human being and bullying awareness is known throughout the world. Their suspension has given justice to those teachers that had been affected by this cyber-bullying. If the board didn't act the way that they did than other students would have thought that it would be okay to just make fun of their teachers online because they weren't going to get in trouble for it.

I feel the reaction of the students were also reasonable. They didn't expect to be found since us teens would think that adults wouldn't go on such sites and actually view them.  I think they should be able to express their opinions freely but they must be considerate of others and should say their opinions in a respectful manner. We shouldn't post this sort of thing on social media websites like Twitter. We shouldn't post anything that will harm any persons well being emotionally or physically.  If the students found someone "sub-tweeting" (a term we use about a person tweeting about a person without actually stating the identity.) about them then they would either be hurt by the rude things tweeted about them, just like how they affected their teachers.

So Remember Kids ...... Don't Tweet it, If it will hurt you!

  1. I enjoyed reading your perspective about this Twitter incident. I completely agree about the inappropriateness of the comment. I like your opinion about how the comment might not have been directed as an insult - I never thought of it that way. It is a form of bullying, and students shouldn't be posting about teachers online because they feel teachers don't check out social media accounts. They shouldn't be posting anything mean, let alone saying it, because it is mean and hurtful. People should watch what they say because sometimes words hurt, and it isn't fair or nice. Enjoyed reading your blog, check our my perspective!
