Rules to Stop Pupil and Teacher From Getting Too Social Online
Schools across the country are imposing strict new guidelines that ban private conversations between teachers and their students on cellphones and other online platforms like facebook and Twitter. These polices starting coming up when some teachers were seen setting poor examples; posting lurid comments or photographs and having inappropriate conversations. School administrators know that the vast majority of teach use social media appropriately. Some school districts have completely banned their teachers from having any kind of social media but some have not. One teacher says "I am against baning it entirely. But I think there is a middle ground that would allow teachers to take advantage of the electronics technology and keep kids safe." Another teacher says, "I think that we would do more good keeping kids safe by teaching them how to use these tools and navigate this online world rather than locking it down and pretending that it is not in our Realm." School administrators are also concerned that teachers may reveal too much information about their private lives. "Keep work work, and keep private your personal life." "For a relationship to start with friending or texting seems to be heading down the wrong oath professionally."
