I think the students think they are untouchable because they are doing it out of school and in cyberspace. I suppose its the modern version of getting rocks thrown at your roof!!! No kids wandering the streets anymore - they're all online. The problem with reacting too much is that I'll end up with a chain reaction as other students jump on board the band wagon as a way to get me fired up!! Such is the life of a teacher. However I will talk to the student again tomorrow and appeal to his better nature. He is being particularly vindictive so I am angry and upset. It is one thing to get at me (not that I even know why!!!) but it is very personal when he knows he is upsetting my kids and continues to do it. I suppose it is life though and my kids are finding out that there are some not very nice people in the world. Thanks for all your support and kind thoughts.
