Social Media Affecting Schools?


1.   I agree 100% that social media should be taken into account when enrolling into a college or trade school. A lot can be determined about a person's personality, or character, through their social media posts. Someone can act greatly in person and leave a great impression, but once you take a look at their social media all your perspective on that one person changes. Students do not realize that recruiters and bosses look at your social media. They want to make sure that the person they are enrolling or hiring sets off a good image, and to do so they look on your social media. You may think that one negative post can't hurt anything but when it comes to enrolling in college or being hired for a job it does.

2. To an extent, I do agree with the observation that people are more worried about being a character, than having character. Everyone in high school wants to be "popular", and to some, in order to be popular, you have to do things out of the ordinary to get yourself noticed by other people. Now, I am not saying that all things that kids do to get noticed are negative, but most of the time their actions put a bad reputation on them.

3. South Haven High School appears not to have many rules for the use of social media. Other than the fact that you shouldn't be on it during school hours unless told otherwise by a supervisor. , and that's why most of the social media is blocked in the school's wifi. If the use of social media becomes an issue with students, students involved will be disciplined. I believe these rules teach us that being on social media is not permitted in workplaces unless told otherwise. It teaches us, kids, that you can get in trouble for what you have posted on social media, and that you will face the consequences of your actions. This prepares students to think through what they post on social media sights. It makes them think about possible consequences that can occur if they post something negative or 
inappropriate.
