is used for various reasons, sometimes for good, like organizations, sometimes just for the fun of it and sadly some people abuse the power of free speech on this website by tweeting inappropriate things. In the case of the suspended students from Brampton, this is categorized as inappropriate. I do understand how they think it was unfair for them to get suspended since this was their personal space, although, the words that was said was just plain rude and mean. They may have thought that it was fine since they thought that the teacher wouldn't see, but either way, what the girl said was very hurtful and they should not expose the teacher like that on a website where a lot of people can see it.
These students were probably outraged about something that the teacher has done to them and they vented their anger on twitter, but this still shouldn't be a reason to share on a social media websites such as twitter. I have seen a few harsh words on twitter about teachers, and I have always thought that it was okay or it was just a joke but now as I look back, it is very inappropriate and it is cyber bullying even with teachers. These students believe that expressing an opinion, such as harsh as this, they can get away with it but with the new laws they can't.
The punishment of the students was very reasonable seeing how what they said is inappropriate. They need to learn their lesson, even in this way, to see that what they have done was wrong. They probably thought that they would get away with it, with this punishment they could see that they are not in power when it comes to these things. Even though some did not learn their lesson, it is still an action that needs to be done. It would have been wrong for the board to not do anything about something that is very wrong.
All in all, posting inappropriate things in general should not happen on social media sites, seeing how this is cyber bullying and this can affect people in a very hard way.
