ReplyDeletemy answer to this is no school should not get involved in our buisness outside of school if anything occured in school involving us then yes they should and if a student is insulting another student on facebook thats non of the schools buisness but if that same student is doing it in school then yes the school must get involved and also get further details
What are the arguments for allowing schools to punish students for behavior outside of school?
ReplyDeleteThe argument is that students should have freedom of speech and the school is punishing them for no reason if its not even their business what so ever.
What are the arguments against allowing schools to punish students for their behavior outside of school?
Three words : Freedom of speech. Students have rights to say or do what ever they want once they are outside of school property. If they are caught doing something outside of school thats inapropriate and is suspended, then the student could sue because of not having the right to have freedom of speech.
What role should schools play in deciding what is or is not appropriate online activity for their students?
I believe that schools shouldn't matter on what the student is doing online. Yes it is very inapropriate, but let the Parents handle that. Schools should only worry about plagerizing things online, or things that has to ONLY do with school. A person could be so intellegent in school work, doesnt mean that she/he has to suffer for the fun she has out of scool.
Should a school be able to suspend you for insulting a fellow student over facebook?
No a school should NOT be able to suspend you for insulting a fellow student over facebook because whats out of school is NOT schools property. What ever happens in public should only have to involve Parents OR the cops. However School is only meant for education nothing else, unless the situation has to deal with the school itself.
What are the arguements for allowing schools to punish students for behavior outside of school?
ReplyDeleteThe major arguement for this statement would be that schools are allowed to punish students for behavior outside of school if there is a threat involved. Of course, some minor arguements would be because they are unhappy or displeased with what was done outside of the school (i.e: what they said, wrote, or published online)
What are the arguements against allowing schools to punish students behavior outside of school?
The major arguement would be that punishing students for their behavior outside of school violates the first amendment under the Bill of Rights. Also, that schools dont have the right to govern the students outside of school, because they are not on school property therefore not in the responsibility of the school.
What role should schools play in deciding what is or is not appropriate online activity for their students?
Schools should play no role in deciding what is or is not appropriate online activity for students because students have access to computers outside of schools and have the right to do what they want because they are not in school. Schools can ban certain websites from school computers and whatnot, but outside of the building, students are able to access and publish whatever they please. It's like if a teacher was to follow home a student and constantly ask what they are doing online. It shouldnt concern them.
What are the arguments for allowing schools to punish students for behavior outside of school?
ReplyDelete-Some people feel that students shouldn't be punished for what they do outside of school because they have a right of free speech and it's "none of the schools business" since its not actually happening IN school. Others feel that it is the schools' right to punish their students for behavior outside of school because they're still their students and are responsible for their students.
What are the arguments against allowing schools to punish students for their behavior outside of school?
-People argue that it violates the first amendment in the Bill of Rights which allows people the right of free speech. They also feel that since its not happening in the actual school it has nothing to do with the school itself and is not the responsibility of school officials to take care of.
What role should schools play in deciding what is or is not appropriate online activity for their students?
-I feel that schools shouldn't play a role in deciding what is or isn't appropriate online activity for their students because it's none of the school's business in the first place. Just because you're enrolled in school does not mean you're the schools responsibility 24/7. Unless the students are continuing things from online in school, the school shouldn't take any action towards it, or unless it becomes a serious threat and a problem on school grounds.
Should a school be able to suspend you for insulting a fellow student over Facebook?
-I dont think that schools should be able to suspend me over insulting a fellow student over Facebook, or any social network for that matter. It's between the two students, and unless its continued in school or the online events are brought into school and arguments are continued in school over what has happened online, the school shouldn't be able to do anything about it.
1.Most say if the actions were done outside of school, off school property, and not during school hours students should not be punished due to their right of the First Amendments guarantee of freedom of speech. However if it is close enough to being a threat or harmful schools can take action.
ReplyDelete2. The school should not have any role in deciding what is or is not appropriate unless done in school. from 7am to 3pm the school is responsible for you and your actions but before or after those times, the school has no say in the students life.
3. Schools should not be able to suspend you for insulting a fellow student over facebook. Children/teens must solve problems on their own to learn, unless a parent at home decides to get involved. If the problem occuring online is brought into school leading to any kind of problem there, then that is when the school should take action.
Should a school be able to suspend you for insulting a fellow student over Facebook?
As long as the student is not on school grounds, or doing anything affecting school property, or affects school work , or attendance then there should be no interferance between the school and the student.
ReplyDeleteThe schools should not play any role in what happens with a child outside of school . If in any case the student is misled or in danger that would be the fault of the parent or guardian .
NO, once again internet and other resources such as facebook, or myspace should not get checked up on by schools. I do believe that jobs should research on them . Many important industries would not want to hire a person who only has pictures being drunk or out of control.
1. If the action does not happen during school hours or on school grounds then according to the first amendment the school has no right to take any action against the situation.
ReplyDelete2. Schools should not be able to punish students for things that happen outside of school unless it is a threat to another student in the school or a teacher. if it dosent have anything to do with school or it is just "kid stuff" it is not the schools responsibility once the child leaves the school building, it then becomes the parents problem.
3. the schools should only be worried if what is being posted is a threat to anyone else in the school, if not then it is not the schools problem, and they should ignore it.
4. i do not think that a school should be able to suspend me for saying something to another student over facebook, or any other social net work. students sometimes talk to each other in ways that don't seem so nice, but what they are saying is harmless. if what is being said is a red flag to something really bad that is going to happen, then i think the school has the rights to get involved. i also don't think that myspace or facebook should be checked by schools because that is the students own personal life, just like the administration students are entitled to have their own life outside of school and facebook and myspace are something that should remain private.
The arguements made for punishing students outside of school were that each student punished "disrupted the learning environment of the school." But usually the adminsitration was only offended and wished to deal with these things with the power they have.
ReplyDeleteThe arguments made against punishing students outside of school were the First Amendment rights for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. In a public fourm some of these kids were able to get away with being punished becaus of the first amendment, but some were not as lucky.
Schools should only decide whats appropriate online activity when someone is in potential danger, if there is no danger what is the purpose of suspending someone? Simply put personally i think schools think the kids they educate are actually thier kids, in a sense yes, but obviously and legally they are not.
For simply insulting i think not, but extended verbal harrasement can obviously be differantiated from just an insult. If a student were to be suspened for simply insulting, their would not be many kids in schools all over the U.S. to be honest.
no school should not get involved in our buisness outside of school because students have access to computers outside of schools and have the right to do what they want because they are not in school.Schools should only decide whats appropriate online activity when someone is in danger.
