Student Fights Record of ‘Cyberbullying’

I wanted to share this article posted on the NYTimes website. We talk so much about bullying among students. This was a different kind of "cyberbullying." A young lady decided she wanted to criticize a teacher over Facebook and she was suspended because of it. She didn't like the teacher and she decided to post them thinking that she had the freedom to voice her opinion. As you read the article, it states that she received several responses from both sides - defending the teacher as well as supporting her stance.

On the one hand, you have a young lady that was taking her opinion to a forum. It was posted as a blog. On the other, this young lady is being critical of her teachers and was considered a form of "cyberbullying".

I wanted to share. You can draw your own conclusions and perhaps, if you'd like share your opinions.

Just some thoughts.
