<div dir="ltr"><div>Its not bullshit. This is the future. The internet is a means for connecting people in a manner that is vast and unparalleled in human history. Notions of privacy need to adapt and change to reflect that. It may be that the superintendent is doing a piss poor job implementing his observation of the children in his care, but I think its reasonable for him to make the attempt to use the internet and social media in particular as a tool for helping to raise children in the internet age. Calling a kid out for cyberbullying is a bit different from goose stepping up to someone with a yellow star sewn on their clothing and demanding to see their papers.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 10:55 AM, WebDawg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:webdawg@gmail.com" target="_blank">webdawg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 10:33 AM, Phillip Showers<br>

</span>Isn't that the thing? Facebook is the AOL of its time. OMG it is<br>
Blue. The only saving grace they have is that they are perusing VR.<br>
<br>
It is still crap that students/kids get treated as if they have no rights.<br>
<br>
It is kind of funny that we expect kids to grow up to be adults but<br>
never ever treat them as equals. We create psychological conditions<br>
starting from birth. How is anyone supposed to grow up enjoying<br>
freedom or even be free thinking when they are constantly threatened<br>
by it from such a young age?<br>
<br>
Don't post that bad thing about school on facebook or you will get in trouble.<br>
<br>
Don't insult your employer on facebook or you will get fired.<br>
<br>
Don't insult your government on facebook or you will regret it.<br>
<br>
Don't insult anyone or you will be noticed.<br>
<br>
Don't be noticed.<br>
<br>
Do what we say.<br>
<br>
I used to think that fascism was this old thing that died with the<br>
Nazis or what not. I thought it was stupid to even bring the word up.<br>
When you have 'leaders' forcing people who do not understand (naive<br>
children) they do not have to listen to such 'leaders' is seems like I<br>
am wrong. You even have parents enforcing the leaders will. Sure I<br>
may be exaggerating but how many times did someone visit you for your<br>
forum posts when you were in school?<br>
<br>
Its bull*hit and should not be taken lightly because it is getting<br>
like this everywhere.<br>
