School upsets student by showing a picture in assembly to highlight facebook privacy

[Plean]

She should Blaze on it.

I feel like privacy needs to be tackled head on as cyber bullying is on the increase but this definitely isn't the correct way to go about it

The amount of teachers I've found on Facebook that show pictures of them with alcohol, hand gestures and stuff like that, isn't far of some of the stuff students are posting. Everyone does it so I think they were definitely wrong to target her, considering it is what so many people nowadays are doing. If they were going to use examples at all, they should've made sure it was no one that goes to that school or just use hypothetical examples.

I don't get that, the school found a picture she publicly posted on a social media website, then her mother complains that the picture that her daughter uploaded isn't a proper representation of her?

Then don't take pictures of yourself in a bikini and upload it to facebook if it's not a proper representation of you, you silly cow.

It's the girls fault for not having the appropriate privacy settings, not the college or school for finding something that's publicly posted.

I think the whole point was the highlight that people aren't aware of the privacy settings/dont know how to do it and need to be more aware of them

The girl's own fault.

Although I don't think they should've done only one person and excluded everyone else. They should've found a good amount of people and did it in a fast slideshow or something. Nevertheless, still the girl's fault.

Pictures of teachers with.... alcohol? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Come on, there is evidently nothing wrong with that.

On topic note; Whilst they should NOT have singled her out, I would see nothing wrong with it if they took say.... ten pictures (from different people). The fact is that the children will learn that way, but targeting one kid is a tad too extreme.

I feel so sorry for the girl, must be so humiliating. The teachers are ******* idiots.

[IzzyUhh]

thts actually so horrible, I'd hate it if tht happend to me I'd probs cry lmao
I told my mum about it and she said if tht was me she would go straight to school fuming

As humiliating as it is, why did the school have to do that? Because parents take no responsibility for what their kids do on the Internet, therefore the school has to teach them. It's not their problem to deal with.

A mother complaining to ofsted may do something like give them a telling off, but the school has to come back and say parents, if you don't want us doing this, then do it yourselves. Just don't come crying to us when something bad happens.

Because it's not at all possible to highlight the dangers of a lack of online privacy without personally targeting your students... /s

My previous college gave us a lecturer and highlighted the dangers of it without flashing pictures of students in their bikinis.
