Why You Shouldn T Be In Place

Have you ever thought that a rule shouldn’t be in place at your school? Well that’s what this is about. The current rule is that you can't threaten or pick fights over social media. I feel as if the rule is ridiculous because it controls your personal life. I think the rule should not be in place at all. I think they should focus on bullying and problems in school, instead of social media cause things can get confused and it’s not a big worry or problem that needs to be fixed.

The rule monitors what you do over social media and can get you in trouble at school. The flaw of that rule is that you need to be able to settle arguments and deal with problems on your own. If you don't learn how to do it yourself than you’ll never know how to do it when you grow up and when you're a man and have a family, you need to know how to settle arguments. Restricting what you can say over social media is gonna make the argument between the two worse. There gonna confront each other and that can start a fight and reduce the safety everyone around them has. It causes multiple problems at school and it makes the learning environment more dangerous.

They should change the rule in almost every way.

The only part about it they shouldn't change is if there is a death threat or a shooting at the school threat, because that is very serious. They should focus on actual problems not fight words or name calling. Those aren't serious problems so instead of focusing on petty little problems they should worry about actual problems. This rule is very appropriate and can benefit and ensure more safety on everybody at the school. This should be the rule because the school should focus about what goes on in school instead of the students personal outside of school life because it has no affect at all on the

school.

The new rule should be, there is no restriction from the school that happens on social media unless there's death threats or threats on school that could harm the learning environment. As i’ve said in previous statement it should change because who cares about the little petty stuff. We need to work on being one of the best schools. We should work on the important things that actually matter in the school and some outside not what people do over social media on there own time.

Social media should not be monitored by school. We have parents for a reason and if there is a problem they can deal with it. There are plenty of problems at school to deal with. Focus on those problems. Don’t monitor off school drama and monitor bad behavior at school rather than on websites about people's lives and drama.
