How do you deal with sexting?
22% of kids admit to sexting, but 100% of middle and high schools are figuring out how to deal with the issue
As an educator, it's probably no surprise to you that stories about sexting are making headlines this spring. After all, kids have been sexting since text messaging and camera phones hit the mainstream, and schools are often the places where these incidents come to light.
Parents are talking about whether sexting should be illegal over on our parent discussion board, but what about when it comes to the rules and policies in schools?
How has sexting impacted your classrooms and hallways, and does your school have a policy about how to deal with sexting and its repercussions? What’s your personal approach to dealing with the students involved?
Teens should have their freedom, personally I think sexting shouldn't be outlawed (I bet you adults do it all the time), however, its not something I would do, or recommend anyone to do. If someone's life is ruined by sexting, and say it somehow gets on the internet, then its the fault of whoever sent the text. You can go ahead and "sext", but don't go crying when it gets out of your control (Psst, hiding your face would obviously help, just a thought =P ).
I think it is nasty to not watch over your kids when they go to a party, or lie and say they are going anywhere but go to the club and end up having sex or gottin' kid napped you get me?
I know im young but people in my class be tring to have sex in the back of the school but i go to mt. airy
No they shouldn't because what happens if you see something you didn't want to see like a boy's private
Who cares? They should be able to look at whatever they want!
