Should Students Social Media Monitoring Student's Privacy?

Should Schools Monitor Students Social Media!?!? Have you ever showed up at school and had a friend or classmate tell you about a rumor directed towards you? I think schools should monitor students social media posts but, only if there seems to be problems occurring and disrupting the class. Cyberbullying can lead to low self esteem and depression, causing worse things. Document E, document B and, document D all agree with limiting/monitoring students online speech.

Do you think your activities online are being monitored. Well some schools are starting to monitor all of their student’s online activities, even the things they do away from school. In “At Some Schools, ‘Big Brother’ is Watching”, by Kelly Wallace, it talks about some schools monitoring systems for their all of their students online activities and posts. Kelly Wallace thinks that students have a right to privacy, but when their life is in danger, the school has a right to step in. I agree with Kelly, in that if someone sees that a student is talking about suicide, they can tell somebody, and the school should be able to investigate.

Likewise, schools have had to pay enormous amounts of money in settlements. 70,000 dollars were paid to a Minnesota student for being forced to give up her passwords to her social media accounts. Such incredible amounts of money spent on monitoring students can be avoided by not monitoring students’ social media in the first

There are real dangers when students use social media. In source 2 paragraph 9, it states “Cyberbullying is deliberately using digital false, embarrassing or hostel information about another person.” This shows that people online show or text embarrassing or hostel information about one another, which can lead to danger. This also shows that students are getting bullied. Also, in source 2 paragraph 10, it also states, “Cyberbullying is quite common, can occur to

Cyberbullying is becoming more typical, especially among teenagers, and this has raised questions about how to prevent bullying from occurring. The schools want to maintain a safe environment for learning, one of the questions being asked is “Should schools be allowed to limit students’ online speech?.” This is the wrong way to pursue the bullying crisis*. Limiting online speech violates our* constitutional rights, students are not the only ones being bullied/ being the bullies, and this is just a method of communication. Limiting online speech could take away what little voice teenagers have, your words are powerful.

Which again can lead back to bullying. Many people tend to use social media as an invasion of privacy. People like to hack into other accounts that aren’t there accounts to look up personal information. Which isn’t right at all. Dannah Boyd mentions in the article that, “ Parents have projected their fears to violent strangers to cruel peers to pictures or words that could haunt them on Google for the rest of their lives.”

The cyberbullies should be given the right education on how to use social networking sites correctly and handle their conversation. Bullying has become a problem that doesn’t always stop at the end of a school day. Bullies turn to emails, texts and even social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace etc. In 2008 a 13-year-old teen

Social Media Essay Imagine if all the years of hard studying and late nights staying up, doing homework was taken away by one post on social media. Social media accounts can be used against a college student or it can be used as a tool for college students to help get accepted; it all depends on how one uses it. Colleges should be able to use social media because college is a privilege for people to attend and if people really want to go to college they should be able to clean up their accounts, a lot of people want to use social media as a helpful tool to get accepted, and because colleges have to be so selective in who they take into their school they should have the right to look at a student’s profile if it is public. One reason that colleges should be able to use social media is the fact that college is a privilege and students should be able to clean up their social media profiles if they really want to get accepted.

We all had a general warning that eventually, for college or for our future job. If you posted something online that was self-incriminating, racist, or inappropriate and it prevented you from going to college or getting a job that is your own fault. “If students make it public it’s public information,” Marlyn McGrath said. I believe colleges should be allowed to check social media of their future recruits because they will be representing their school. Colleges do not want their students posting pictures of them partying and making inappropriate remarks.

and while this number is fairly large it does not inherently mean it increases the amount of bullying as people have used every means of communication to do such things before (Doc F). it has been left uncertain if websites such as social networking sites can be included in the “school environment”. Schools should have the ability to provide a healthy environment for everyone involved but they cannot do so without having a clear legal position that they can

Cyberbullying and the First Amendment Matthew Trotti Grand Canyon University: POS 500 2/23/16 Cyberbullying and the First Amendment In todays world and the 21st century technology is everywhere and access to that technology is at everyone’s fingertips. Due to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter things like cyberbullying have become a new way of bullying. The definition of cyberbullying is “bullying that takes place using electronic technology” (What is Cyberbullying). This paper will talk about the topic of cyberbullying and the steps that I am required to take if I hear from a student that they are being bullied on Facebook.

McClatchy writes for a national newspaper in Minnesota and is currently drawing attention to cyber bullying. She explores new methods to combat this new type of bullying, which is derived from the internet. This article provides examples on several solutions that have been employed by different states to resolve the issue. Many state governments have come up with new laws requiring schools to construct policies to counter cyber bullying. The article also quotes a professor from John Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public health; he states that the increased usage and reliance on the Internet and smartphones will have a big impact towards cyber bullying.

There may be some reasons why social media is good for kids, but all and all social media is dangerous to the well-being and education of minors. To start with, social media is dangerous to kids that are online because people can be anonymous, predators, and/or cyberbullies. For example, Hinduja, a professor of criminal justice, at Florida Atlantic University says that about 20% of youth have been either victims or perpetrators of cyberbullying. Also, masking one 's identity on the internet make someone more likely to be a cyberbully (SIRS 1). Masking one’s identity can be a serious problem.

Should kids be allowed to use social media ? Could young children be able to manage social media ? I disagree with this . I think that children 13 and under shouldn 't be using social media until they are mature enough . Social media like Instagram , Snapchat , Facebook , WhatsApp , and Messenger can cause children to have health issues , waste their time , and it can be dangerous.

Many people think that minors who have access to social media are more involved in activities and have a better social life. However, those who do have access to social media often use it too much as a distraction, and do not focus on important things like school. Minors should not have access to social media because they are not at a mature age yet to be responsible and aware of what they are doing or what they have access to. When a person experiences something new they sometimes get too carried away with it and become addicted, because they enjoy it too much. There was an experiment done by a famous YouTuber where he would message kids on social media with their parents consent, and talk them into meeting up with him.
