I think almost everyone knows what facebook is; a social networking site that gives you the ability to communicate with your friends. With having facebook you may have to face problems like cyber bullyng and you may witness posts that may not be appropreate, but what if teachers were involved? Could that stop most facebook problems, or just make them worse?
Pros of having your teacher/ student on facebook could be, teachers can stop and report things like, cyber bullying, susides, murders and other problems students may incounter. Oh no, you forgot what page your science homework was, well don't worry because thanks to facebook you have your science teacher as a friend. Facebook can help you ask your teachers about school work when your not even in school! Facebook can also help a teacher reach out and build a better relationship with their students in a way that they can use and understand.
Now here are some reasons why teachers and students shouldn't be facebook friends and ways you can resolve those problems. School is like work, would you really want to be facebookwith your boss or employee? It would be unprofessinal and strange. Students and teachers have their own lives out of school and they shouldn"t need to worry about eachother outside of school. Another reason why teachers and students shouln't friend eachother on facebook is because they could start bothering eachother and it could even turn into herassment. If you spend 5 days a week and about 10 monthes a year with that teacher/ student the last thing you would want is to be almost scared of that person. A way to resolve these problems is to have a class facebook page that everyone in the class has acsess to and their parents as well, this would make everyone feel safer.

The new way of dealing with bullying
Bullying....I bet bullying has been a problem ever since the start of thime...the big guy picking on the small guy. Again ever since the start of time there has been the same form of punishment, which is if you do something wrong there are concquences. Just like Adam and Eve they were punished for eating the fruit out of the tree that god told them not to. Why would we change the way we've been doing things for so long just because there is a new way of dealing with it? As you can see I do not agree with the new way of dealing with bullying and in the next few paragraphs I will explain to you why.
We have been using the same method for dealing with bullys for so long, so why would we change it? I think punishing bullys is very effective way of dealing with them, it teaches them that what they're doing is wrong and it shall not be done again. I know for a fact that if I did something wrong and I was punished I would think twice before doing it again, so why change it? I bet there are another million ways with dealing with bullying, but I think this is the most effective. Imagne if you hit someone and you got detention, would you really go and hit someone else, or would you realise that what you did was wrong the first time and if you do it again you'll just get in more trouble.
No blame....is this actually serious? Yes, of corse a bully should be very well blamed for what they did. There is no reason what so ever that they should not be blamed...I mean they did it in the first place. If a bully was not blamed for what they've done they'll just think they can get away with it again. I honestley don't thinkthat it matters what their personal issues are, a bully is a bully. This may sound harsh, but I don't think bullying should be sugar coated with a cherry on top, it should be taken seriously because it is a serious matter. Kids need to know what they've done is wrong and face the concequences that apply to their bullying problem.
How would the People who were bullyed feel? I know if I was bullyed I wouldn't want the person who bullyed me to just get a talking to or get help with their personal problems, I would want to be helped with my problems which in that case would be the bully. I don't think it would be fair to the person who was bullyed to have the person who bullyed them just get away with it. I would be scared about being bullyed again if the bully just got away with it because it would make the bully think because they didn't get in trouble the first time they probably will continue bullying because they think they won't get in trouble.
To end off my blog I would like to say that there are many ways of dealing with bullys, some more effective than others, but I think the key to dealing with bullys is to make sure that they will not bully again. I do think that the method that we are using for dealing with bullying at the moment is a good method and we should continue to use it until it becomes uneffective. Lastly, I would like to say that bullying is a serious issue and it should be delt with seriously.
