                                                 Seventh Grade Student Suspended
     Seventh grade students were suspended for writing bad things about their teacher online. I think suspending these students was totally wrong.  We all have freedom of speech, so we should be able to say whatever we want about another person. Suspending these students was totally wrong. The article didn't tell me exactly what the students said, so I can't really say much more than the punishment wasn't right, and people just need to get over things when bad things are said about them. As long as what the students were saying wasn't a threat, I don't see a point in making a big deal about it.

     I understand saying things mean aren't right.  I just don't think getting in trouble for saying "I'm feeling pissed because I hate my students" is a reason to get in trouble. People express themselves all of the time. They think the same thoughts that they post, they don't get in trouble for thinking about it, but they get in trouble for posting it? I  just think there isn't a reason to get in trouble for expressing your feelings. As long as what is being said isn't threatening another person, I don't see a reason to freak out about it, and get someone else in trouble.
                              Many Employees Disciplined for Facebook Posts
     Some people just need to think before they post. I understand that how you act outside of work and online represents your company or job, but it also doesn't at the same time. The way people act outside of work doesn't always mean that is how they act when they are working. As long as no one is being threatened and important information about the company/job aren't given out online.

     I fell as if these students took the dislike of others a little too far. I understand they wanted to express how they felt about this person, but posting it online isn't always the right way. When I have a problem with another person, I go up to them and tell them. I don't sit there and make a Facebook page about it. I think suspending them for ten days was a little too much. Writing an apology is the right thing to do, but being suspended for ten days isn't a good punishment. Having to make an apology is a lot more of an effective punishment.  Some people just need to learn to think before posting things online, especially about other people.
