Norms and responsibilities

Kathy C
I have noticed that many social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter, give an age limit of 13; however, I have also noticed that many students that age simply lie about their birth year. I think there needs to be tough standards to participate in such sites.

Also, I think we need to educate students about cyber bullying. In one discussing I had with a student, she could not see the error of her ways because "everybody was doing it." Her response prompted me to hang a sign in my room which read, "Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is doing it. Right is right, even if no one is doing it." I'm not sure if it made much of a difference to my students, but I did not have any subsequent problems with the issue.
