Should Teachers Take Students’ Facebook Profile Into Account When Evaluating Their Conduct?
Should teachers take students’ Facebook profile into account when evaluating their conduct? (I agree)
A student’s conduct cannot be just reflected by his behaviour and performance at school. In other words, students should behave well both inside and outside the school, no matter where they are and when they do. Some students may pretend to behave well at school in order to gain the admiration of their teachers and fellow schoolmates. However, they may do something inappropriate on their leisure time, for example when they share things in their Facebook profiles. If this really happens that will absolutely affect the ethos of the school as a result. The consequence will be very serious. Recently, a student of a renowned secondary school used foul language in his Facebook profile to blame his enemies of another school. He was recognized which school he was studying at subsequently. The matter was also prominently reported by the media. People wondered whether or not this school deserved a fine reputation. Parents considered if they would send their children to this school. From the above example, therefore, teachers should take students’ Facebook profile into account when evaluating their conduct in order to understand their real character.
Many students think that teachers who take their Facebook profiles into account when evaluating their conduct do not respect` them. They share things in the Facebook profiles so as to relieve their stress of busy homework, examinations, etc. This is their right of freedom in the Facebook profiles. However, I don’t agree with their opinion. If the students share things which they think are appropriate, they should not be worried about teachers checking their Facebook profiles. Besides, students who share things in the Facebook profiles want to let the others know their feelings as well as what they are doing. Teacher can also have the right, as other internet browsers, to browse students’ Facebook profiles. Moreover,
