Facebook Dilemma

<p>I reported it two days ago - no response.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’m interested in putting my child in the position of acting as the policeman for a group of kids at his relatively small school. He is not a member of this Facebook group.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Uhoh. A whole lot of kids who post here on CC that their school offers X APs or had X kids get into Ivies are gonna be in biiiiig trouble. </p>

<p>It sounds like the policy is putting the emphasis on “without permission” to head off charges that the school is censoring kids or suppressing legitimate criticism. But by making what students are not allowed to do so neutral, the school is asking for complaints of unequal treatment if it takes action only against kids who post negative things without permission.</p>

<p>Here’s a thread that kind of has to do with this…maybe it’s good for a read:

<p>As I’ve told my daughter, we live in different times. I grew up in a small town, where if you wrote, say a letter saying you like Johnny, it would show up on the cafeteria wall! LOL. Turns out the only letters I ever wrote to a boy or man, is the man I’ve been married to for 26 years! Kids, watch what you write!</p>

<p>I went on a college visit the other day where they told us that they DO check Facebooks. They’re not all that hard to view. All they would have to to do is use a fake photo and name and I’m sure they could get someone in the same network, or even the person whose profile they were trying to view, to “add them”.</p>

<p>You can actually block faculty members and alumni from your network from seeing your profile, so it’s a nogo. Usually professors aren’t on there since it’s a bit creepy, but there are a couple. </p>

<p>I don’t have innapropriate pictures, posts, or notes on my facebook and I don’t mind showing it to an employer or my parents. It’s nice to finally keep in touch with a friend that you haven’t seen or talked to since 3rd grade.</p>

<p>it is amazing how afraid everyone is to do the right thing</p>

<p>oh, we must protect the children…hogwash</p>

<p>they post it, its public, no matter what you all claim</p>

<p>as a parent and an ADULT and a human being to NOT share this with the counserlor is cowardly</p>

<p>If they made comments about say, your spouse, gues syou would want to protect the prviacy on a public forum as well</p>

<p>cgm…this is an old thread…I’m not sure why you resurrected it. Of course, it’s an ongoing issue in general…</p>

<p>So, OP, what happened? Update us…</p>
