After discovering that one of her students tweeted foul language about her, a school teacher confronted the teenager during a lesson on social media etiquette. Inquiring why the student would post such hurtful messages that could harm the teacher's reputation, the student replied that she was upset at the time. The teacher responded that she was very upset by the student's actions. The teacher demanded a public apology in front of the class, and the student apologized. The teacher later stated that she would not allow young brats to call her those names. Was the student behaviour wrong, and if yes, why? Next, what are the teacher's goals in this situation? How should the teacher have addressed the misbehaviour? Should the teacher have excused the student's action, or taken a different approach? If the teacher's actions are wrong, why is that? Is cyberbullying different from face to face bullying, and if yes, how? How should teachers as a profession treat student misbehaviour like this? Should teachers have a standard that they should follow, or should they be allowed to exercise their discretion?
