Hey Hey Hey my little OLD senior opinion: “Social media” is antisocial. And parents are dead wrong to buy their kids and encourage that CRAP. “Social Media” encourages mob rule and discourages independent thinking. Children, teens cannot discriminate what is destructive and leads to destructive action on “social media.” The school cannot control a child’s use of “social media” or smart phones anymore than it can control what a child watches on TV or other media. If a student calls another a bad name FACE TO FACE at an athletic event , that is another story and the student should be properly disciplined. “Social Media” dehumanizes communication because it is not face to face or even voice to voice. The teen who would call another a bad name on “social media” would hesitate to voice the same words out loud. I know this blog comes under the category of “social media” but since I am a Ridgewood resident, I make the exception because I think this blog is a great communicator of Ridgewood news. Case in point: I found out about the recent BOE school budget meeting on this blog.
