The Importance of Social-Media Guidelines

You get my point. It can be a very slippery slope with no guideposts to grab on to. Until schools put serious priority in creating, implementing and practicing the guidelines for social-media use within their walls, events such as this one will continue to occur. Just as students know what happens if they ditch class, they should also know what happens if they talk about attacking a teacher on Facebook. It is the obligation of the school to make that clearly understood — not to assume it is understood.
