Nowadays Facebook
is also used in universities and high school as a help and advertising certain
things and groups are made for class projects to make life easier for students.
Instead of meeting in person and talk about the subject face-to-face, they just
communicate in that ‘group’ online.
Facebook is a
great internet plat form for exchanging information among students and
teachers. However students abuse it too, by having the permission to have lap
tops in at school or university, students start chatting online during class.
This leads to a massive distraction and students basically waste their time.
As most of the
teachers know that almost every student is a member of Facebook, a dramatic
event occurred in a US high school:
In March 2013
School official accused of accessing students Facebook
page.
Breaking news in
Everett, Washington, at a North Middle School a young girl was asked by the
principle assistant to log onto Facebook so that other accounts from other
students can be looked at. Apparently this was done because of cyber bullying
problems, which were currently happening at school.
However, the girl
was devastated and so were her parents: “There was no right for anybody to come
in and ask her to open her personal information to obtain any information about
anybody else” claimed her mother.
In facet there
was a cyber bullying issue going on and the school was looking for a picture
that was posted on Facebook but this is still no reason of going through
students private information and belongings.
According to the
girls mother; “Our job is to give our children a good education and not to
bring them in and scare them.”
What I would like
to point out is that there is cyber bullying happening at many schools,
pictures are taken with smart phones and uploaded on the World Wide Web. This
has reached dramatic issues like these; professors, teachers, assistants
interfere into students private lives.
