Bram’s Facebook Dilemma
By: Marc Levin
Was it right for Bram to make fun of his teacher on Facebook?
I think that everyone is right in their own way.
Bram’s dad, David, is right because the school had no authority to punish his child while he was at home without discussing it with him first.
The school is correct as, it was a rude thing that Bram did, and maybe the school does not tolerate rude things.
Bram was right because he didn’t now what he was saying was public. After all, even the President of Schools in Montreal said that kids can be irresponsible. Maybe Bram was just getting carried away with his buddies.
Finally the teacher has a good point.
To me, she has the best point of all. This one wall post affected her reputation. No school will ever accept her if she wanted to move. If she was too embarrassed to go back to school, this would alter her financial situation.
How are we going to solve this problem? My solution would be to have an awareness week about this situation. I would bring in a guest speaker that knows about Facebook, have him/her inform us about its safety, and make it a fun and good learning experience for everyone.
Hopefully the teacher fixed her problem, and that Bram got an easier punishment.

Wow it's really good but the only thing I don't agree with is the part where you said "Bram was right because he didn’t now what he was saying was public"
I think that would be wrong because anyone can see your wall on face book. I agree that the teacher has the best point of all because she was the victim so she is the innocent person in the story.
The other thing I wouldn't do that you put in your essay is "to bring in someone who knows about face book to talk about its safety" because sometimes kids, like you said before in the essay, "kids can be irresponsible" meaning that kids can just pay attention to what ever class this person is giving but the minute they walk out of the room their minds forget everything and they will keep doing those wrong things.

Hey, don't look at me! I didn't do it.
