Digital Etiquette

Lori Olmstead
A student took a video of a teacher trying to get another student to lift his head and get to work. The teacher hit the desk of the student to get his attention, and was speaking very loudly and abrubtly.  The student posted this video and claimed the teacher was bullying the student for no reason.  This created an outcry on social media, and caused several issues for the teacher. Luckily there had been another staff member in the room to back her up.

What the video did not show was the student being incredibly disrespectful and yelling swear words at the teacher moments before putting his head down.

The student who posted the video was inappropriate both in the filming of the teacher and student without their knowledge, but also lying about the situation.
