[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DC was in middle school couple of years back they recorded a fight but did not post on social media. They did share the video with friends. My DC was reprimanded for recording the fight and asked to delete the video. I now think it was to protect the principal and the school’s image more than anything. [/quote]

No. It’s not. There isn’t a conspiracy theory.  We want to discourage (teacher here) this type of behavior. If we normalize it, then any video out there will become a record of someone’s behavior.  I personally tell my students to never ever share.  #1.  You don’t know the whole situation.  #2 Video can be edited and posted to show an entirely different story.  #3 what stays 
 on the internet is forever. #4 now you are in trouble too!  It’s a tenant of digital literacy to be mindful of what you share. Please remind your kids about the importance of social media and cell phone safety.  They really don’t want today’s mistakes (really learning experiences) to affect them possibly down the road.

Well when you (teachers and the administration) start doing a better job of protecting our kids while in your care, I'll wholeheartedly support you in this digital literacy load of crap you just spewed. Until then, I totally believe that you all are just trying to CYO. You can't even make the students put their phones down during class in fear of them attacking you.[/quote]

This is why your kid needs me to teach him how to act in society. [/quote]

He really doesn't though. He is polite, he puts his phone away in class, his teachers all tell me he is respectful and polite. But I also teach him to think critically. And one way to protect himself without using violence is to have his phone with him and record interactions that are threatening his safety. I'm sorry you don't want to be accidentally recorded not doing your job. [/quote]

Are you ok? I’m glad your kiddo turned out ok. Believe me. I have experienced a few of you before.  Crazy parents with awesome kids. Please get a life. I don’t care about you.  I know what I’m doing thanks. [/quote]

And believe me I have experienced lazy, entitled, careless teachers such as yourself. Can't be bothered to do your job. [/quote]

Lol.  Ok dawn. [/quote]
