Schools Should Not Punish Off-Campus Cyberbullying

Decent Essays
Another key reason that schools should not punish off-campus cyberbullying is that it’s the

parents job to check on the student and not the school. As Upfront Magazine on October 9th, 2017

has made it clear, “ However, it’s a matter that should be dealt with by parents—not school

officials. Educators have the authority to discipline students when they violate school rules on

school grounds. But if students act out off campus, it’s up to parents to decide the punishment ”

The parent's job is to choose the punishment not the school because it was off-campus.

Edwin C. Yohnka’ s point is that the evidence supports the claim because the claim is about parents

checking up on students and the evidence says it should be dealt with parents.

    Although the school and its staff is bound by law to handle information about children in a confidential way and share it only with relevant and responsible people.

    There has always been some level of student’s misconduct in school; however school recently changed the methods and polices to deal with delinquent behavior. Schools implemented zero tolerance policies which are punitive and based on deterrence theory.

The school-to-prison pipeline has damaging effects on an individual as the student is pushed out of schools; many students then find it difficult to gain an education and become stigmatized within society, thus pushing them to further delinquency. This pipeline tends to contribute to the racial and learning capability disparity…

    INTRODUCTION Race relations in America has always been exceptionally antagonistic, as compared to other nations (Myrdal, 1944). The disproportional number of minorities, especially Blacks, being involved in the criminal justice system, has often been highlighted to indicate the level of racial tension in the country. In the 1970s, however, findings regarding the disproportional distribution of school punishment among Black students (see Child Defense Fund, 1975), pointed out to the fact that racial disparities and tensions are not restricted to the criminal justice system alone, rather schools too are influenced by them. Since the report in 1975, a number of researchers have attempted to study the link between race and school punishments…
